I have to remain in sync with our development partner. /home > uname -r 21.0 (0.9/1/2) I get the following message when trying to un-tar the vim-5.5 archive: tar: usr/local/man/man1/rview.1: Could not create symlink to `vim.1': Too many symbolic links Is there a cure for this ailment (other than upgrading)?
