[00:10] I have a laptop running ubuntu-server. echo $TERM shows 'linux'. Whenever I ssh into my developing server and open a file with vim, it looks HORRIBLE. I noticed that on the server, it says my term is 'xterm' and not 'xterm-color'. How can I set my laptop up so that it uses xterm-color so that when I ssh into another box it will also use xterm-color? === Jasonn is now known as JasonnAWAY [01:11] meLon, the most likely problem is that you have the default vim, which is a reduced feature set vim and is terrible [01:12] apt-get install vim-nox to get the full version [01:14] I am in a fresh lucid install with python-setuptools , pip and virtualenv installed [01:14] in the virtualenv I just created I cannot pip install pysqlite [01:15] it returns unable to execute gcc: No such file or directory [01:16] do I need to install gcc to make it work ? (I am not feeling comfortable installing gcc on a server) [01:35] lau, I don't know anything about pip, but from that error message it would appear so [01:36] the metapackage 'build-essential' is the best way to install gcc and the things you probably need to go with it, if you decide to do that [01:38] FWIW I avoid sqlite like the plague [01:41] less functional, less stable, less secure SQL alternative that doesn't even manage its original purpose of being fast [01:59] qman__: thx , I installed build-essential and other *-dev system packages [02:00] is it state of the art to install *-dev package on a prod server ?
