I get colors in vim when I invoke it with the -g option (it creates its own X-window). If you're using CDE, give vim -g a try.

yes, i know ! it works too on our computer however i would like to make it work on an xterm cuz i have to switch between a lot of files and it s easier to use the terminal....

So PLEAZZZZZZZZ help me to make it work on my xterm !!!!!!!

I've been poking around HP's support forums and found this advice:

Install the following, in order:

http://gatekeep.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Development/Libraries/libiconv-1.9/

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gettext-0.12/

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Gtk/Development/glib-1.2.10/

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Gtk/Development/gtk+-1.2.10/

http://gatekeep.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Editors/vim-6.2/

You may also have to create the following links:

/opt/gtk+/lib/libgdk.sl -> /usr/local/lib/libgdk.sl 
/opt/gtk+/lib/libgtk.sl -> /usr/local/lib/libgtk.sl 
/opt/glib/lib/libgmodule.sl -> /usr/local/lib/libgmodule.sl 
/opt/glib/lib/libglib.sl -> /usr/local/lib/libglib.sl 
/opt/gettext/lib/libintl.sl -> /usr/local/lib/libintl.sl

Hope this helps.
