As info, gvim is not functional --

$vi -g
$GUI cannot be used: Not enabled at compile time

would it be possible to add this?
also gvimdiff yield the following output:

WS014_NT500:/home/rthompso>/usr/share/vim/vim57/tools/gvimdiff
.exrcOld _exrc
getopts: not found
expr: syntax error
gvimdiff: display highlighted differences between two
files side-by-side in gvim

Usage: gvimdiff [ -s ] [ -f font ] [ -n ] [ -w width ]
arg1 arg2

Both the arguments must be file names OR one must be a
file name and the
other a directory name.  If one of the arguments is a
directory name, it
refers to the file in that directory with the same
name as the other
argument.

Options:
   -f font     font to use for display
   -n          do not create a wide window
               (useful if your display is not too
wide)
   -s          do not display identical lines
   -w width    width of diff output
               (default is set for diffs of 80 column
wide files)
