I'm trying to install vim to $HOME/bin by compiling the sources.

./configure --prefix=$home/bin

seems to work, but when running make I get:

> make
Starting make in the src directory.
If there are problems, cd to the src directory and run make there
cd src && make first

How do I fix the make errors? Or is there another way to install vim as non-root?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: I took a look at the google groups link Sarah posted. The "Compiling Vim" page linked from there was for Linux, so the commands doesn't even work on Solars. But it did hint at logging the output of ./configure to a file, so I did that. Here it is:

./configure output removed. New version further down.

Does anyone spot anything critical missing?

EDIT 2: So I downloaded the vim package from sunfreeware. I couldn't just install it, since I don't have root privileges, but I was able to extract the package file. This was the file structure in it:

`-- SMCvim
    `-- reloc
        |-- bin
        |-- doc
        |   `-- vim
        `-- share
            |-- man
            |   `-- man1
            `-- vim
                `-- vim72
                    |-- autoload
                    |   `-- xml
                    |-- colors
                    |-- compiler
                    |-- doc
                    |-- ftplugin
                    |-- indent
                    |-- keymap
                    |-- lang
                    |-- macros
                    |   |-- hanoi
                    |   |-- life
                    |   |-- maze
                    |   `-- urm
                    |-- plugin
                    |-- print
                    |-- spell
                    |-- syntax
                    |-- tools
                    `-- tutor

I moved the three files (vim, vimtutor, xdd) in SMCvim/reloc/bin to $HOME/bin, so now I can finally run $HOME/bin/vim! But where do I put the "share" directory and its content?

EDIT 3: It might also be worth noting that there already exists an install of vim on the system, but it is broken. When I try to run it I get: ld.so.1: vim: fatal: libgtk-1.2.so.0: open failed: No such file or directory "which vim" outputs /opt/local/bin/vim

EDIT 4: Trying to compile this on Solaris 10.
