While trying to get command-t VIM plugin installed I noticed that the default vim-7.0.x installed from CentOS Base repository does not come compiled with ruby support and needed to be upgraded to version 7.2.x:
$ vim --version|grep ruby
+python +quickfix +reltime +rightleft -ruby +scrollbind +signs +smartindent Notice "-ruby" which states that it is without ruby support.
Once the rpmbuild environment is setup, install the source rpm:
# su - rpmbuild
$ cd ~/rpm/SRPMS/
$ wget http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/os/SRPMS/vim-7.2.411-1.6.el6.src.rpm
$ rpm -Uvh --nomd5 ~/rpm/SRPMS/vim-7.2.411-1.6.el6.src.rpmEdit the vim.spec file, line 496 and remove perl-devel from the requirement list.
BuildRequires: python-devel ncurses-devel gettext perl-develThen build rpm binary:
$ rpmbuild -bb ~/rpm/SPEC/vim.specInstall the rpms via:
# rpm -Uvh ~/rpm/RPMS/x86_64/vim-{m,c,e}*
