/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/ftplugin/latex-suite/outline.py does not have execution permissions and thus attempt to generate reference list (with F9) ends up with error: /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/ftplugin/latex-suite/outline.py: wrong permissions simple command chmod +x /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/ftplugin/latex-suite/outline.py fixes the problem. BTW, there are other scripts /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/ftplugin/latex-suite/bibtools.py /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/ftplugin/latex-suite/pytools.py that may be need this fix too, but I'm not sure as I've just started to use this package and have not checked if these scripts are called directly or are sourced from some other script.
I've fixed the permissions for outline.py in CVS and I don't think the other two scripts require executable permissions. Note that app-vim/latexsuite got moved to app-vim/vim-latex (bug #289890) with the same commit.
