How to install vim with clipboard support on Fedora?

I'm using Fedora Linux and don't have the ability to copy text from vim into the system clipboard (which I should be able to do by using the + or * register, though I'm not sure which). If I type this at the command line:

vim --version | grep clipboard

... the relevant line says -xterm_clipboard, when what I want to see is +xterm clipboard.

How can I add this support? Do I have to compile something (please say no!) or can I just yum install something?


vim in Fedora is compiled without any X support in order to minimize the number of dependencies it has. You'll need to use gvim instead, in the vim-X11 package.
