Bug Description
Binary package hint: vim-full
Steps to reproduce:
install vim-full (this also installs some 35-36MB of stuff)
install vim-latexsuite (vim-addon-manager is automatically installed)
open a fresh .tex file, nothing special happens
check for own errors, none... ;-)
google the subject:
Suggestion 1: use vim-addon-manager with :~$ sudo vim-addons -w install latex-suite --- no success
Suggestion 2: add the line to .vimrc: let g:tex_flavor='tex' (or 'latex')
This fix was suggested on http://
Suggestion 3: add the line to .vimrc: set runtimepath+
This is NOT:
Bug No.s --- Different to my bug because
#225411 ---
#42283 --- it also does not work for me in vim or gvim from command line
#225943 --- the file-extension .latex also doesn't work (and I fixed the extension thing see above)
#81374 --- the version of latex-suite from sourceforge did not work either
#306840 --- solution did not work
#137205 --- no helpful solution
#42283 however seems to be the thing that gvim has a bug here but the solution to add sid to the sources.list is not a real solution because it has the potential to break lots of things.

Thank you for your bug report. vim latexsuite has been a dead project upstream for several years. Their last release was based on the vim 6.X series. My experience is this package does not work very well with vim 7.X versions of vim. Unfortunately there is no upstream fixing these bugs.
