Vim: Caught deadly signal ABRT Vim: Finished. Abort trap: 6

[Bensji]

After installing vim with homebrew, command-t doesn't work anymore.

This is the output I get:

Vim: Caught deadly signal ABRT Vim: Finished. Abort trap: 6

Not sure if this is related to another topic I found about the version of Python?

Because I already tried to unlink python, install vim again with brew and try to rebuild command-T (doing cd ~/.vim/bundle/command-t/ruby/command-t/ext/command-t
ruby extconf.rb
make), but that didn't work.

Thanks!

Python has nothing to do with Command-T so you can ignore that. I am on my phone now but take a look at the troubleshooting section in the docs or at the closed issues here: the key is to compile Command-T with the same version of Ruby that Vim is linked against.

I had a similar issue. I got this error after updating vim/ruby. What worked for me was:

cd ~/.vim/bundle/command-t/ruby/command-t/ext/command-t
make clean
ruby extconf.rb
make

I get this same error when compiling vim from scratch (which was only necessary b/c the ruby/vim combination on Mojave doesn't want to work with command-t but I digress...)
Something about the make install step causes this SIGABRT with command-t. Yes I've tried rebuilding command-t using make clean; ruby extconf.rb; make. The version of vim I built in my vim/src/ folder works with command-t. It is different from what gets copied to /usr/local/bin during make install. The only thing I see is it runs strip /usr/local/bin/vim after copy, but I don't know why that would cause SIGABRT. I'm falling back to copying the vim manually into /usr/local/bin. Seems like I'm back in a working state now. 🤷‍♂️

Going to close this as we have two different purported workarounds posted. Another one for the "gee-isn't-this-thing-ridiculously-difficult-to-compile" archives.
