Description Clock 2005-12-13 06:54:51 UTC
Before installing gvim, syntax highlighting with my vim 6.3 worked fine. Then I
installed gvim 6.4. Now when I run vim I get this message:

clock@kestrel:~$ vim
Error detected while processing /etc/vim/vimrc:
line   87:
E484: Can't open file /usr/share/vim/syntax/syntax.vim
Error detected while processing /home/clock/.vimrc:
line    4:
E484: Can't open file /usr/share/vim/syntax/syntax.vim

/home/clock/.vimrc line 4 reads "syn on".
The directory /usr/share/vim exists and directory /usr/share/vim/syntax doesn
't exist.


Reproducible: Always

Post the exact versions of vim, vim-core and gvim, please...
Comment 3 Clock 2005-12-14 07:54:03 UTC
Post the exact version you mean by exact version - do you mean the version as
printed by the program, or version as indicated in the ebuild?

ebuild versions...
Comment 5 Roman Stanchak 2006-01-04 09:47:24 UTC
same problem for me -- I think the problem is that emerging gvim forces an upgrade to vim-core leaving vim at a lower version.  upgrading vim fixed the problem for me.
