I'm trying to compile vim 7.3 in home directory. As a terminal library, I installed ncurses in ~/lib/ncurses/ncurses-5.9 with --with-shared option.
After setting
set path = ( ~/lib/ncurses/ncurses-5.9/bin/ $path )
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ~/lib/ncurses/ncurses-5.9/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
I tried to configure vim with
./configure --enable-multibyte --prefix=/home/******/apps/vim/vim73
or
./configure --enable-multibyte --prefix=/home/******/apps/vim/vim73 --with-tlib=ncurses
however it failes while searching for ncurses. It seems -lncurses flag is unavailable, and ldconfig did not help.
I do not see what I did wrong... can anybody help me?
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is used at runtime not compile time to find the correct libraries. You need to set LDFLAGS or set a configure option to find the ncurses library:
env LDFLAGS=-L<PATH TO NCURSES LIB> ./configure ...
Install the ncurses-devel package
$ yum install ncurses-devel
Then try again:
$ ./configure <your options>
