vi not found

[yahoohoo]

I just found the command vi does not work in Terminal (SL 10.6.7):


No idea what I've done with the system. Can anyone help me out?

Did you somehow break your path?

/usr/bin/vi

should open it.

Still not working. No such file or directory. Could you check whether you have the file vi under /usr/bin?

Do this:

cd /usr/bin
ls -l vi*

post output.

Mine looks like this:

ls -l vi*
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel        3 May  5  2010 vi -> vim
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel        3 May  5  2010 view -> vim
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  2819728 Aug 11  2010 vim

I updated to 10.6.7 last night. vi is in /usr/bin/.
