Hello,
When I do pacman - S gvim
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
Targets (2): vim-7.2.266-1 gvim-7.2.266-2
Total Download Size: 0.00 MB
Total Installed Size: 31.04 MB
Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y
checking package integrity...
(2/2) checking for file conflicts [##############################################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
vim: /usr/bin/rview exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I look at the wiki and there is no reference to rview ( at least I couldnt find it).
so is Vim the same as View
from this line in the out put above
vim: /usr/bin/rview exists in filesystem
and Gvim the same as Rview?
why the rename?
I see most people refer to "vim this" or "gvim that " but not rview etc.
In bash when I do gvim or vim
I get a command not found
If I do vi , view or rview I get an editor , but I really dont know the differences.
I am trying to learn some vim and also use it as a python ide.

view starts vi in read-only mode, rview starts vim in read-only mode.
I'm guessing this is an issue caused by the recent vi/vim separation - try doing a full upgrade (pacman -Syu) and then installing vim. If you still have the issue, post the output of
pacman -Qo $(which rview)

Always read the news before updating your machine. Saves you from a lot of grief.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Thanks guys
That clears up the confusion I had.
So I did
pacman -Qo $(which rview)
/usr/bin/rview is owned by vim 7.2.266-1
followed by
sudo rm /usr/bin/{view,rview}
followed by
pacman -Syu
pacman -S vim
pacman -S gvim
Now it installs vim and gvim
now when I do vim or gvim I get the respective editor.
