Hi all,
I'm trying to upgrade my vim to 7.2.
Did an rpm check and have downloaded the package package vim-7.2-8.1.
But then upon installing, it give me this "package vim-7.2-8.1 is already installed" which I guess to me it has been successfully installed.
However when I start vim, it is still on version 6.3.
Can someone please advise on how to correct this properly?
Cheers,
DB :D

Have you tried de-installing the 6.3 version, checking rpm database and installing the 7.2?
You don't say what OS you're on but can you use 'locate vim' to find out how many there are installed, its possible the RPM database is corrupt so locate will help you find them and check there versions.

STuart.

I have CentOS 4.7. I have located vim to my entire system ans here's what I found (attached). I have tried uninstalling vim 6.3 and installed 7.2 but after wards it gave me this error: vim: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by vim) so did the install through yum and gave me this:
yum install glibc
