gvim crashes opening a .tex file

[Phil Stephens]

Binary package hint: vim-latexsuite

Hello,
Ubuntu comes with a vim-latexsuite package, however the plugin files are located outside user space, and the system doesn't work out of the box. For instance, when I open a .tex file in gvim, I don't get the menu items that I should.

So, I downloaded the vim-latexsuite from the web at http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/index.php?subject=download and extracted into the ~/.vim folder in user space. When I opened my sample .tex file (an empty file), I got the menu items, but also received a host of errors. As I scrolled down through the errors in gvim, the program crashed. I should note as well that I am getting the following error every start of vim or gvim since installing the suite from the web :

<terminal output>
pstephen@titan:~$ vim
Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/addons/plugin/remoteOpen.vim:
line 33:
E174: Command already exists: add ! to replace it
line 34:
E174: Command already exists: add ! to replace it
Press ENTER or type command to continue
</terminal output>

Prior to installing the web suite, I did not get this error when trying to open a .tex file.

I believe this is referring to your .vimrc file.

What is line 33 and 34?

[Yigal Weinstein (yigal)]

To the matter of "out of user space" you should create a local version of ftplugin i.e.

.vim/ftplugin/tex.vim etc.

I removed .vimrc and .gvimrc and am still getting the error.

I do not have this error and I am using vim-latexsuite. What vim related programs do you have installed, i.e, what is the output,
aptitude search ~dvim | grep '^i' ?

This is strange. If you have a reasonably fast internet connection please
install vim-full and tell me if you get the same error. I have heard that
vim-full is a dependency for this program even though it is unlisted.

if you would please upload your vimrc file - the one you are using now even
though you deleted it.

vim-latexsuite depends on vim-full... As you're using an unpackaged version, we can't do anything about this.

I am tired of Linux and am moving to BSD but I am glad that I was able to
help you.

I appreciate you sticking with this problem. For instance, I got an
email from another person yesterday addressing the original issue, who
advised me that since I was not using official packages, there would be
no support. I guess he/she was from Ubuntu.

I use several OS X Tiger machines at work and a laptop of my own. And I
have to say that what I love about Debian is the package repositories.
Fink is okay, but not nearly as graceful as apt. However, I am
interested to know why you are choosing BSD? How much different is
Darwin from BSD? Of course, only answer this if/when you have time.

thanks again.

This is way off topic but for all those reading. Everything is hype. BSD is fine but after spending 36 hours up trying to install a BSD system for my father I decided that debian/ubuntu is my system. It might not be perfect but neither am I.

I just wanted to say thanks, I was experiencing the same problem and didn't realize until reading this bug report that I had not installed vim-full. Are the dependencies in the package set correctly? I don't know whether I installed vim from .deb or source, so I can't say whether the mistake was my fault or in the dependencies.

I assume the dependencies are set incorrectly for vim-latexsuite. I
most likely installed the binaries. (99%) Thanks for writing.

Have a nice day.
