I use mandrake 8.1 at work and OSX at the house. I love my OSX, but the vi editor on my linux box is easier to use. i.e. when I page up or page down, it moves my cursor up a page or down a page rather than just displaying the page above or below.  Also, I do not have the 'mode' (ie "insert") display when I use vi on OSX. I thought maybe it was a shell thing, so I installed bash, then I thought maybe it is a vi thing, so I tried installing vim 6.0 from osxgnu.org. It acted like it installed successfully, but when I tried to run vim I received the following error: vim can't open library: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.6.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
If anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them. Thanks!

looks like what you're running is trying to use Xwindows.
few things i'd try:
first, make sure your ncurses is up to date:

if you want, try to install Xwindows.
i'd say try the vim from here, but it's giving me similar errors:
% vim
dyld: vim can't open library: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.7.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)-------------------- -- -willy
