There shouldn't be. Which version of vim do you have installed? When I
changed the compilation procedure to configure vim with X support, I
created two versions - one for 1.2 (which, at the time, was slated to
use 3.1.2), and one for unstable (shortly to become 1.3).
The reason for this seemingly crazy process is that my video card - a
W32p revision A, VESA local bus - didn't work with 3.1.2; I'd long ago
given up on it, and was using the betas. As a result, I wasn't certain
vim would work properly with 3.1.2 if it were linked with the R6.1
libraries (3.1.2 was X11R6; 3.1.2D and later, R6.1; 3.2A and later are
R6.3.)
