I've never installed that one. Pleas (if you've got vim installed) look
at the man page for vim! It installes vim, gvim, gview and more. Hence

Well fact is. vim installes gview as an symbolic link to vim .Look at
this:
bash-2.03$ which gview
/usr/local/bin/gview
bash-2.03$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/gview
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 Nov 14 22:27 /usr/local/bin/gview -> vim
