I got "Can't create temporary file, errno=1". Now what? It did actually startup for me. I don't know what is different about my setup, however. It worked for a few seconds, then gurued. Also, do NOT 'run vi', since it wants its input from standard-in (your shell window). You could 'run' it if you redirected standard-in to a new con: window, I suppose, but since it crashed so quickly for me, I didn't try it.
