  • [gentoo-user] (G)vim 9.0.0099 won't start

    From Philip Webb@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 21 06:10:01 2022
    Today, I updated to the latest stable Vim 9.0.0099 + GVim same
    & it refused to open. No problem back with 8.2.4586.

    Has anyone else encountered this ? Does anyone have a suggestion ?

    No *vim here, but: what does happen exactly? That is, what do you mean
    with "refused to open"? Is there any error message? (If it hasn't been
    started from a terminal or terminal emulator, try that way and see if
    there is any relevant output.)

    After some sleep & investigation, I found the problem, which is with Gvim.
    The gtk+ gtk+2 USE flags have been dropped for Gvim-9 ,
    which now defaults to the Motif GUI, which won't start from CLI :
    "E25: GUI cannot be used: Not enabled at compile time".
    This cb avoided by using USE="-motif" , which defaults to using Gtk:3 ,
    & Gvim starts from CLI as it should.

    Gentoo Bug 831250 covers removing the gtk USE flags.
    I have added a comment as above & we'll see what the devs decide to do.
