vim 74 compiled and wrong runtimepath ?

[aRkadeFR]

Hello,

I wanted to compile my vim in order to get the python option.

I downloaded vim74 from http://www.vim.org/sources.php and
then in /usr/local/opt/vim74 I configure like this:
./configure --with-features=huge --enable-pythoninterp
--prefix=/usr/local/opt
make -j10
make install

Then with an empty vimrc (but existing) and a ~/.vim/doc/NERD_tree.txt,
I launch the vim like so: /usr/local/opt/bin/vim
Inside vim now, I have the right runtimepath:
/home/arkadefr/.vim,/usr/local/opt/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/local/opt/share/vim/vim74,/usr/local/opt/share/vim/vimfiles/after,/home/arkadefr/.vim/after

but even a :help NERDTree doesnt work.

I try to include a ~/.vim/plugin/python.vim but even if it is read on
the startup, it is not applied when I open a python file :( Even worse
it set variables like "set noexpandtab" even though the filetype is
right.

What can I do in order to fix it? Did I compiled / configure it right?

Thanks

PS: I'm under a debian jessie

Did ":help NERDTree" work before you compiled your own version? You
may just need to build a helptags file for your local help files by
executing

:helptags ~/.vim/doc

If you expect your python.vim file to be sourced as a filetype
plugin when you open a Python file, you need to put it in the
directory for filetype plugins, ~/.vim/ftplugin.

Ok, my problem is not about the help at all, sorry about
that. I completely forgot to run :helptags <dir>

Then for the runtime, a plugin broke cause some variables
(expandtab locally or not) are setup in a new buffer
now.

Sorry, and have a good one :)

Thanks for the answer, indeed, I forgot the helptags
command.
