Tried installing Vim 7.3 so I first installed Mercurial, which allowed me to clone vim source code off Googlecode. This was done successfully.
Problem started from here:
cd vim/src
./configure --enable-pythoninterp --with-features=huge -prefix=$HOME/opt/vim
which drew this response from the terminal:
configure: loading cache auto/config.cache
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: in `/Users/JayEdge/vim/src':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
Tried looking at config.log (in my case it was auto/config.log) but I’m not sure what to look out for.
Background: I’ve checked that Xcode is installed properly, and gcc.vim was found inside the route vim/runtime/compiler. Should I move this (or duplicate this) into another folder? If so, which folder to move it into?
Like Karoly said, you need a c compiler. Since it looks like you are running OSX (based on your xcode comment I would suggest grabbing the OSX-GCC installer at the following site:
I would also look into grabbing homebrew for installing things like vim.
