Re: vim on POWER specifically IBM i

Jim,

Look at the instructions on the YiPs wiki: 
http://www.youngiprofessionals.com/wiki/PASE/OpenSourceBinaries

Once you get the RPM scripts set up and install the Package Manager, you 
will find the vim-common, vim-enhanced, vim-minimal, and vim-X11 binaries 
in the GetXedit group under editors.

vim on POWER specifically IBM i






Folks:

I have been searching for a binary install so I can run vim editor from 
an ssh session (putty) on IBM i.  Upon searching the internet there are 
lots of hits for AIX but I have yet to find a place where PASE 
compatible binaries are found.

Any ideas?

(on a quest to get real unix bitheads to like the IBM i platform..... 
this seems to be one of the biggest roadblocks)
