Does anyone able to run GVIM on Amazon AMI Linux? The base & epel repositories both don't have gvim prebuilt. I tried to build gvim myself but ./configure couldn't find the necessary dependency.

I wonder if there is any yum repository would help getting GVIM working.

  • but if I am editing a few hundred MB files, this will generate too much overhead in editing locally. It's better to editor remotely in such case – ChromeHearts Apr 18 '14 at 22:11
