I have downloaded the latest sources for VIM 6.1 onto my Linux box and I
want to build Ruby support into VIM. I keep seeing that I should build
it with the +ruby option, but I don’t know where I do this. I tried to
do it when I doing the configure (eg. configure +ruby) but that doesn’t
do it. I tried #defining FEAT_RUBY in feature.h and rebuilding.
To test support I tried to do a colon then: ruby ‘print “hello”’ and I
get the message “E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this
version”.

Ok that worked great. But (even more off-topic), this builds the executable
vim. I want to build gvim. I tried
configure --enable-rubyinterp --enable-gui and vim still is the regular vim
and there is not gvim executable. Sorry for more dumb questions

This is a dumb question, but do you have the XFree86-devel RPM
installed (assuming you’re running RedHat; other distros may have
different names for the package)? You should have a bunch of files in
/usr/include/X11 or somewhere similar.
Plus, if you want the Gtk and/or Gnome UIs to be built, you have to
have the respective -devel RPMs installed as well:
gtk±devel
gnome-core-devel (I think)

Did you run “make install” as root? I have built vim many times and I
have never had any problem running “gvim” as opposed to vim. Running
make install should also install “evim”, “vimdiff”, “view”, “rview”,
“vimtutor” and a few others in /usr/bin. Note that all of those are
just links to the vim executable.

What that means, probably, is that configure couldn’t find the header
files it needs to build a GUI.
If you look at your auto/config.cache, what does it say for the line
that starts

… and must be on the system path to be callable without a path.
Perhaps that’s the issue here.
