Hi,

I successfully installed gvim on a redhat installation, which must run in console mode only. It does this fine, and has perhaps double the features enabled as the tiny or expanded console vim.

My problem now is how to select the runtime directories and files for gvim, running as console vim? With usual ones, I get various error messages related to no graphics. If I used the tiny or expanded runtime files, I fear they would not contain some useful features (e.g., search, cmd, dictionary completion).

Specifically, I have tried to impliment the dictionary and thesaurus functions, but they do not seem to work. I have the files, and have set the dictionary and thesaurus variables to the correct directories.

However, i only get results when I tried to complete a word, for instance `have', within a dictionary file itself. In any other file, I get ``pattern not found'' for the same word. And I can not use i_CTRL-X i_CTRL-K to generate any popup menu with a list of words. Do these popups require graphics in linux? They seem to work OK on in my dos box under windows.

Any help appreciated.
