Perhaps OT, but I figure here is where people have seen this commonly.
I upgraded Python from my distro's default of 2.5.2 to 2.6.2. Vim is now
complaining every startup about missing <exec> libraries, presumably as
some plugins run some python code on initialisation. I'm guessing vim is
complaining as it was compiled with python support, and that was 2.5.2,
and the compiled-in python library locations no longer exist.
I believe you should have added 2.6.2 as an alternate installation and
left 2.5.x alone. There have been several threads discussing this.
I compiled a new vim, so things are ok-ish, but now my system is even
further away from standard distro. I'm also a little surprised vim is so
clunky as to use hard-coded locations. Do I really have to compile a new
vim every python upgrade?
Not if you add rather than substitute.
'strings vim' shows some ascii that could be the python library
locations. Being quite ignorant of how the linux loader works, could I in
future use sed on the vim binary to change every string of "2.5.2" to
"2.6.2", or are the library locations used by the loader coded in binary
rather than ascii (and so, harder to find)?
Thanks,
