thanks Ryan. I think I had the python package already -- I installed the FULL cygwin.. ping@ping-new-laptop ~ $ python Python 2.6.8 (unknown, Jun 9 2012, 11:30:32) [GCC 4.5.3] on cygwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> I guess I need to do some manual re-compiling work myself. but depending on whether I'm lucky not sure I'll make it or mess things up worse. not complaint at all...cygwin is an amazing project already...just wondering why there isn't a "full-feature" ready to use vim available so newbies like me won't need to do the dev-level work. I remember I use cygwin years ago and ran into the same trouble... I'll try and post update. regards ping On 06/29/2012 11:06 AM, Ryan Johnson wrote: > On 06/29/2012 10:22 AM, ping wrote: >>> cygwin full install went smooth. >>> but looks I don't have python support here. > http://cygwin.com/problems.html >> You might also try installing the python package... >> Ryan >>>> -- > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html > FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ > Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html > Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple > -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
