====== vim-latexsuite on ubuntu 9.10 ====== Here is how to get vim-latexsuite working on ubuntu * DON'T download the latex-suite file from http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/ and unzip into ~/.vim/. It just simply doesn't work because vim-addons cannot find it, even if ~/.vim/ is in the runtimepath of vim. I don't know why. * USE ''sudo apt-get install vim-latex'' to let ubuntu install it for you. Also do ''sudo apt-get install vim-addons-manager'' if you haven't. * ''sudo vim-addons -w install latex-suite'' * ''vim-addons'': You should see #name User Status System Status latex-suite installed(or removed, doesn't matter) installed * put your own tex.vim file in /usr/share/vim/addons/ftplugin/ * In .vimrc, add: set runtimepath+=/usr/share/vim/addons filetype plugin on set grepprg=grep\ -nH\ $* filetype indent on let g:tex_flavor="latex" * you will see an error involved with remoteOpen.vim. I eliminated those error by commenting out the specific lines in remoteOpen.vim Ref: http://philofellow.blogspot.com/2009/05/vimlatexsuite-in-ubuntu-904.html {{tag>ubuntu linux latex}} ~~LINKBACK~~ ~~DISCUSSION~~
