After updates to =app-editors/vim-core-6.4.1583 and =app-editors/vim-7.4.1583, I get the following errors by whenever I open a Latex file: Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/ftplugin/latex-suite/texrc: line 60: E116: Invalid arguments for function <SNR>65_SafeLet line 64: E116: Invalid arguments for function <SNR>65_SafeLet line 72: E116: Invalid arguments for function <SNR>65_SafeLet line 75: E116: Invalid arguments for function <SNR>65_SafeLet line 89: E116: Invalid arguments for function <SNR>65_SafeLet line 94: E116: Invalid arguments for function <SNR>65_SafeLet line 107: E116: Invalid arguments for function <SNR>65_SafeLet line 108: E116: Invalid arguments for function <SNR>65_SafeLet line 110: E116: Invalid arguments for function <SNR>65_SafeLet Afterwards when editing the Latex file, the usual vim-latex features are missing, i. e. most probably not loaded. Downgrading to =app-editors/vim-core-7.4.1342 and =app-editors/vim-7.4.1342 solves this for me. I found another mention of this at [0] which also states that vim-7.4.1583 needs a patch for this to be fixed. [0] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=210453 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to =app-editors/vim-core-6.4.1583 and =app-editors/vim-7.4.1583 with =app-vim/vim-latex-1.8.23.20141116 2. Open any .latex file Actual Results: vim-latex plugin fails to load. Expected Results: vim-latex should load and its functionality be available. % emerge --info Portage 2.2.28 (python 2.7.11-final-0, default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome/systemd, gcc-5.3.0,

This has to be versions =app-editors/vim-core-7.4.1583 and =app-editors/vim-7.4.1583 in the first line in the report, of course.
You might want to give https://github.com/lervag/vimtex a shot, as long as there is no upstream fix for this issue.
Here's the Arch linux bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/48670 According to their bug report, it's a vim problem, not a vim-latex problem. Updating vim to 7.4.1639 seemed to fix things for them. Incidentally, vim-latex still works fine with neovim-0.1.2.
Same happens here.
Seems to be fixed with [g]vim-7.4.1821. After updating, I can open a .tex file without any errors popping up, and vim-latex seems to be working fine.
Closing as this should probably be fixed with recent vim versions in the tree.
