I have a minimal-install CentOS 6.6, with Desktop added afterwards. I'd like to compile the latest vim with xterm_clipboard.

I did the following

  1. Installed *-devel packages

    yum install ruby perl-devel python-devel ruby-devel \
  perl-ExtUtils-Embed ncurses-devel libX11 libX11-devel \
  libXtst-devel libXtst libXt-devel libXt libSM-devel libSM \
  libXpm libXpm-devel

    That didn't work.

  2. Next I tried using groupinstall

    yum groupinstall "Desktop" "Desktop Platform" "X Window System" \
  "Fonts" "General Purpose Desktop"

    No luck either.

After each of the above steps, I did

make clean

./configure --with-features=huge --enable-perlinterp \
  --enable-rubyinterp --enable-pythoninterp --with-x=yes \
  --enable-gui=auto

and then

grep X11 src/auto/config.h

But everytime I see

/* #undef HAVE_X11 */

Forcing a sudo make install, and then vim --version confirms that I don't have xterm_clipboard (the output shows -xterm_clipboard).

Could you all please help me?

Thank you!

The solution of my issue is

make distclean
./configure ...

I only did make clean after installing the groups, and various packages. It is not "clean" enough, the config-files are not completely restored to the initial state.

I hope this helps others with the same issue.
