I tried type in the line as VIM command, it return error: "E492: Not an editor command: --with-tlib=ncuerses."
And it dosen't work either, if I put it in my .vimrc file.
Someone know anything about this, please help!!!

| This tip didn't work for me either, but i found another solution: setting the TERM environment variable to "sun-color" did the trick. What's more, it worked only when i did NOT compile with --with-tlib=ncurses (letting it to the default automatic detection) because with it vim said my TERM was unknown :-)

| You also need to setup ld to search /usr/local/lib. To do this see man crle. Add that in, make distclean, reconfigure, and build.. Note: This is NOT a runtime (command line/ vimrc) tip, its a compilation tip.

Maybe you should "export TERM=xterm-color" in addition to "configure with this option: --with-tlib=ncurses ".
It works well on my box.

Here's what works on my Solaris 8/9 boxes:
(I lifted this off of somewhere and possibly refined it, but I have no idea where).
:if &term; =~ "xterm"
: if has("terminfo")
: set t_Co=8
: set t_Sf=ESC[3%p1%dm
: set t_Sb=ESC[4%p1%dm
: else
: set t_Co=8
: set t_Sf=ESC[3%dm
: set t_Sb=ESC[4%dm
:endif
:endif

With Solaris 9 Intel x86 edition, after a normal installation , plus the package ncurses and vim
for Solaris 9 x86 installed
You just need to create a $HOME/.vimrc with:
syntax on
In this case you will get colorised syntax in vim, called from a dtterm
On a native xterm you will not get color, because this is a black and white xterm.
If you install the binaries and lib of XfreeOrg_XFREE86-4.1.0, (package for Solaris Intel from
ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.4.0/binaries/Solaris-9/) you will get an xterm with color like
under linux.
Don't try to install all the packages in particular the XFree Driver must be the one
from Sun, like SUN_XFREE86-4.0.3 or SUN_XFREE86-4.2.0 which include package to install with
pgdadd, and found in xf86_drv_port_bin_403_2.tar.gz or xf86_drv_port_bin_420_1.tar.gz from:
http://developers.sun.com/solaris/developer/support/driver/tools/video/video-index.html --> Download Porting Kit (you will have to register , but its free, before download). Any way these packages are not required if the native Solaris X driver is fine for your card.
From the ftp.xfree86.org/pub archive, just extract the tarball: Xbin.tgz Xdoc.tgz Xlib.tgz Xman.tgz
for example, under a new created directory /usr/X11R6 if it doesn't exist (created by SUN_XFREE86 when installed), and put /usr/X11R6/bin in the PATH , and /usr/X11R6/lib in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, added in /etc/profile for example.
Then if you use vim in a /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm, you have also to set TERM=xterm-color, then vim works also as fine as in dtterm; unfortunately, other command like less will complain about bad implementation because xterm-color doesn't exist in /usr/share/lib/terminfo/x; correct the problem by copying in this directory the xterm-color f from linux machine (in /usr/share/terminfo/x)

export TERM=xtermc
that is what worked for me. Many of the systems at this place are still solaris 2.6 though, so I don't know whether this makes a difference, I have got to the 9 systems yet.

'xtermc' worked for me as well, connecting using putty to a solaris 5.7 system. In my case, it seems clear that vim had already been installed using ncurses, but the terminfo was outdated, and the xterm entry doesnt include color information or something. The net result for me was bold and underlined text, but no real colors.
There is no 'xtermc' in the termcap, which could conceivably cause problems for other (less important) shell applications.

Three cheers for Anonymous...
With Putty, set the "Terminal-type string" setting in the "Connection" category to "xtermc".
Save your settings, log in, and enjoy the view.

I tried this :
PuTTY with Terminal-type string to xtermc
TERM to xtermc
and... vim is now working with colours.. But... arrows doesn't work anymore with Midnight Commander...
An idea ?

In Application keypad settings section in the Keyboard-Config in PuTTY:
do not check Application cursor keys totally disabled
check Initial state of cursor keys: Application
do bot chech Application keypad keys totally disabled
check Initial state of numeric keypad to Application
safe this and enjoy... Well, at least this works for me

| The effects of terminal type strings in ncurses (and more) are defined by a very dense configuration that is part of the "terminfo" system, and "termcap" system in some other programs. I think it's probably too far outside the scope of this forum, but researching that should serve you well (also i dont know enough about it to say anything useful). Be sure not to miss http://www.catb.org/~esr/terminfo/ - could be a valuable resource if you do give it a go.

| I confirm, 'export TERM=xtermc' enables colors on solaris 2.8 (without --with-tlib=ncurses compile option), but does not work on 2.6 system

You can also set in your ~/.profile in Solaris 8 the following
export TERM=ansi
then within your ~/.vimrc
syntax on
set nocp incsearch
set cinoptions=:0,p0,t0
set cinwords=if,else,while,do,for,switch,case,def
set formatoptions=tcqr
set cindent
set ruler
that should work for most installs with the SunFreeware packages.

Having trouble installing Vim 7.0 on Solaris 10 with color support.
A previous installation of Vim was installed as the sunfreeware package to /usr/sfw/bin/. Color worked just fine. The Ncurses library is also installed via sunfreeware and resides in /usr/sfw/lib/. The load library path shouldn't be a problem:
$ crle
Configuration file [version 4]: /var/ld/ld.config
Default Library Path (ELF): /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/opt/sfw/lib:/usr/sfw/lib
Trusted Directories (ELF): /lib/secure:/usr/lib/secure (system default)
Command line:
crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/opt/sfw/lib:/usr/sfw/lib
Yet when running configure this line pops up:
/tmp/vim70$ ./configure | grep ncurses
checking for tgetent in -lncurses... (cached) no
Any ideas on how to get color properly enabled?

| The resolution was to link to ncurses and to also remove the linking to termlib. They seem to coexist poorly.

| TERM=xterm-color works better for me than TERM=xtermc. Both give color but xtermc produces some artifacts when exiting vim.
