Environment:

1. Gentoo
2. vim 7.3

I have search in Google and find the way:

vim --version | grep clipboard

and find that my vim doesn't open the clipboard support

To open the clipboard and xterm_clipboard support in vim.

I add these use flags in package.use:

app-editors/vim clipboard xterm_clipboard

but I use equery -q uses app-editors/vim, but nothing add。

How can I solve it?

What is the output of vim --version | grep clipboard? A - in front of clipboard and/or xterm_clipboard means that your Vim is not compiled with clipboard support. If that's the case, get another version like vim-gnome (or something like that, YMMV) which supports clipboard.
