Description Rob 2013-09-06 15:22:42 UTC

Description of problem:

Various X related features are not enabled.

eg. issue :version command

Actual results:
-X11 -xterm_clipboard

Expected results:
+X11 +xterm_clipboard

Additional info:
If I build the vim source, configure isn't finding the X headers since /usr/include/X11/Intrinsic.h is missing.
yum install libXt-devel.x86_64
fixes it.

vim from the vim-enhanced package is intentionally built without X support so that you can have a minimal system without any X libraries.
What you're looking for is in the vim-x11 package, either the GUI version gvim or the terminal version vimx

Yes, vimx is what I was looking for but didn't know it existed and wasted a lot of time working out what was wrong with vim and rebuilding it.  There is also no vimdiffx etc.

Wouldn't it be better for both packages to install it as 'vim' but you would choose which one to install based on the dependencies or type of system you were building?
