Have you read http://macvim.org/OSX/index.php ?

I would recommend a "vanilla" Vim at first, since you're having
trouble.  

  ./configure --without-x --disable-gpm --prefix=/usr/local/
    --enable-gui=carbon

Once you get that working, add the rest.

You should also know that I configure with only ECL enabled -- no
Perl, CScope, Ruby, or Tcl.  There may be conflicts with those
interps.  (In particular, I'm pretty sure there's a conflict with Perl
& ECL; I think they both define a "node" structure, or something.)
Just so you know.
