Ok, I fixed my own problem. It turns out that the ncurses-5.2-34 distribution that was installed on there broke it. I rolled back to 5.2-28 and everything works peachy keen. Of course, the 34 release also incorporated the ncurses-ext package, and forcing a rollback wasn't fun...but it worked.

One other thing to note, whenever I run vim, i get the folowing set of characters at the bottom of the file: ^[34m~ I believe that is supposed to display color information or something. thanks, tommy On Mon, 2002-12-02 at 15:45, Periyasamy, Raj wrote: > Run the "set" and verify DIR_COLORS is set correctly.
