Forum Topic - vi fails with elvprsv: not found: (3 Items)
   
vi fails with elvprsv: not found  
Hello,

I'm trying to edit a file with vi and I'm constantly getting the following error message:

$ vi
/bin/sh: elvprsv: not found
Error stuffing name "" into temp file


I'm not sure what it means and I can't find anything about it via google.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Liam
Re: vi fails with elvprsv: not found  
well, vi -> elvis.. so really it's an elvis issue I guess.

Also, the temp files that are created have "/tmp/foo" in them.

Seems elvprsv is the executable that resumes editing after a crash.

if it's a nameless buffer, it pretends the filename was foo.. dunno how to tell it to stop trying to recover though.
