Does one exist without installing unmenu?

There appears to be a standard slackware package.    You could try dropping into /boot/extra so it is auto-installed when the system loads (or run the installpkg command on it).  Just done a quick test and vim appears to load OK after doing that - not tried using it in anger so it is possible there are still missing dependencies.

Thanks for the link, I'll give it a go tomorrow and report back!

Worked nicely for me, thanks.

I'm trying to install vim, but something isn't right. Heres what I do:

 

$ cd /mnt/cache/Downloads
$ wget http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware-current/slackware/ap/vim-7.4.692-i486-1.txz
$ installpkg vim-7.4.692-i486-1.txz
$ vim 
-bash: /usr/bin/vim: cannot execute binary file

 

I tried to make the binary executable with:

 

$ chmod +x /usr/bin/vim

 

But that didn't help. Any suggestions? Vi is weird and I can't use nano

unRAID 6 can only run 64bit executables

sooooo for unRAID 6 to install 64bit VIM

 

cd /mnt/cache/Downloads

wget http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-current/slackware64/ap/vim-7.4.692-x86_64-1.txz

installpkg vim-7.4.692-x86_64-1.txz

Maybe we can get this in the NerdPack plugin?

While that would work until the next time you boot, it would not be re-installed after a reboot. If you put it into /boot/extra then unRAID will automatically install it when it boots. unRAID runs installpkg on anything in /boot/extra when it boots.

Tried vim-7.4.898-x86_64-1.txz instead, and it installs, but then upon running it, I get:

 

vim: error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Looks like you need to find and install perl also.

For anyone else that wants it. You need perl and vim, I created a pull request for nerdtools but if he doesn't merge it you can get the packages from my fork.
