Trying to upgrade vim 6.3 in my CentOS box but running into some issues:
Doing a compile and make install gave me this error:

Currently on Vim 6.3.82.
Please advise. Cheers!

Same idea as your last topic. You're missing the Xm libary, whatever that is. Google says openmotif provides it, and you want the headers, not the binaries, so try installing openmotif-devel. Also get the xorg development headers like last time if you don't already. And hopefully the "incompatible" are just warnings, else you may have to ensure you have both 64- and 32-bit versions of the packages installed.

Yes thought i did update and installed openmotif-devel and applied same idea on my last post but this one gave me the same:

Please note the machine last time is a virtual machine and this one im working on is a physical machine - could that be the case?

Thanks

Shouldn't be, but is it VMWare? VirtualBox?

Post the output of -
How did you get the vim source code on this machine? Specifically, did you run "make clean" and "./configure" on it?

VMWare

Yes did make clean then ./configure
Source code i use came from a compressed vim-7.2.tar.bz2 the did compile.

Okay.. and where did you get openmotif from? Are *el4* packages normal on CentOS5? (I use RHEL at work, never CentOS)

I got openmotif-devel from yum install.
