I am using Vim 7.2 on a system where I don't have permission to upgrade to a newer version. When I install Systastic via Vundle, it appears to be fine, but whenever I begin editing a new file, I see something like this:

Can this be fixed? I miss my Syntastic!

You mean you're actually trying to _use_ syntastic with a version of
Vim from 2008? :)

Ok, please upgrade to 5d9a0bc3, and let me know how / if it works.

I really appreciate your help! That seems to have stopped the errors on my Linux machine at work (where I can't upgrade vim), though I don't see any signs that Syntastic is doing anything - I tried creating a Ruby file with bad syntax and I didn't get any gutter signs.

Unfortunately, on my Mac with the same version of Syntastic installed, I am now getting these errors when I open a file:

I recommend you to invest a few minutes in reading the manual. It
can save you a lot of time.

I'm not sure why do you think this has anything to do with
syntastic.

ok, syntastic is definitely working on my linux machine. I'll look into the vim-ruby problem separately.
