Help about colorscheme.

[shuda Li]

I de-installed Vim72 by running the following command:

>sudo apt-get remove vim-tiny vim-runtime vim-gui-common vim-gnome vim-doc vim-dbg vim-common vim jvim-doc jvim-canna libvi-quickfix-perl libtext-vimcolor-perl vimhelp-de vim-vimoutliner vim-syntax-gtk vim-scripts vim-rails vim-puppet vim-nox vim-latexsuite vim-gtk vim-addon-manager

 and installed Vim 7.3 by compiling the source. Tho OS I use is Ubuntu 10.04. 

However, when I start Vim7.3 I found the colorscheme doen't work any more. I tried all choice in "Edit -> color schems".  Only the background color was applied see attached image. 

I wonder what's wrong with my new installation.

Best,

 

Shuda

Which options did you use to compile you vim? Also what colorscheme
are you trying to apply?

Are you by any chance trying to restore a previous session (created in
vim 7.2)? It happened to me, when I upgraded to 7.3. I use a global
session for Vim, like firefox.

Here are the steps I install Vim7.3 on my ubuntu system

1)Download the vim-7.3.tar.bz2 
2)tar xvf vim-7.3.tar.bz2 

3)/configure --prefix= /user/defined/directory

4)make

5)make install

I tried Edit->color scheme-> blue on a cpp file (see the attachment)

Here may be the problem. I don't know the default vim compile option,
but maybe some feature is missing and it's causing the problem. See
./configure --help, but you may probably need to add
--with-features=huge to your ./configure line to be able to set your
colorscheme properly.

I reinstalled Vim7.3 using 

./configure --prefix= /user/defined/directory --with-features=huge

make

make install

However, the problem still exits. 

I de-installed Vim72 by running the following command:

>sudo apt-get remove vim-tiny vim-runtime vim-gui-common vim-gnome vim-doc vim-dbg vim-common vim jvim-doc jvim-canna libvi-quickfix-perl libtext-vimcolor-perl vimhelp-de vim-vimoutliner vim-syntax-gtk vim-scripts vim-rails vim-puppet vim-nox vim-latexsuite vim-gtk vim-addon-manager

 and installed Vim 7.3 by compiling the source. Tho OS I use is Ubuntu 10.04. 

However, when I start Vim7.3 I found the colorscheme doen't work any more. I tried all choice in "Edit -> color schems".  Only the background color was applied see attached image.

please try the following:

sudo apt-get build-dep vim

then re-compile your vim 7.3 and install it.

problem will solve.

[bill lam]

apt remove does not remove all traces. try this
sudo aptitide purge '~c'
before installing the new vim 7.3

typo. should be aptitude

(I usually use tab completion and rarely type the whole word)

Are you sure you have...
syntax on
...in your .vimrc? If you don't have this command somewhere in your
startup, activating a specific colorscheme will change background
color, but you won't get language-specific syntax highlighting.

Sincerely,
Brett Stahlman
