Description pmelo 1999-05-28 11:00:13 UTC

Hi.

Just a simple bug, with a very simple fix-up: in util-linux,
the "more" program searches for vi (on a v key) in
/usr/bin/vi. However, vi is on /bin/vi, so it allways fails.

Two simple solutions:
1) change /usr/bin/vi to /bin/vi on the source - you need to
change the manual page too, since it explicitly refers
/usr/bin/vi
	or
2) to create a symlink from /usr/bin/vi to /bin/vi


Workaround:
Use "less"
Best regards,
	Paulo Melo

Perhaps you have installed a non-standard vim package?

[root@gandalf SPECS]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 6.0 (Hedwig)
[root@gandalf SPECS]# rpm -qa | grep vim
vim-common-5.3-7
vim-enhanced-5.3-7
vim-minimal-5.3-7
vim-X11-5.3-7
[root@gandalf SPECS]# whereis vim
vim: /usr/bin/vim /usr/share/vim /usr/man/man1/vim.1

Oh yeah:

[root@gandalf SPECS]# whereis vi
vi: /bin/vi /usr/bin/vi /usr/man/man1/vi.1
