He shoots... OHH HE MISSES!

% ldd /usr/bin/vi 
/usr/bin/vi:
        -lcurses.2 => /usr/lib/libcurses.so.2.0 (0x20056000)
        -ltermcap.2 => /usr/lib/libtermcap.so.2.1 (0x20062000)
        -lc.3 => /usr/lib/libc.so.3.1 (0x20066000)

btw you can try to make a static vi by editing the Makefile in the src
dir for vi and adding CFLAGS = -static
remember the bin will be in /usr/obj/ :)
