Sometime in the last two days changed on my system so that when I try to launch vim I receive:

Code:

/usr/bin/vim: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/vim: undefined symbol: PL_current_context

(Perhaps my daily 'emerge --update --deep --changed-use @world ' ? )

So I ran:

Code:

emerge --oneshot vim vim-core

Now vim (vi) is working again.

(Hope this helps someone else.)

It's because of the Perl update. Perl-cleaner will also take care of it. You get a message about it after you update perl.

Code:

perl-cleaner --force --libperl
