vim 7.2 on SUNOS10 and nerdtree

[Jean-Luc Pinardon]

Dear all,

I am new with vim plugins.
I just have downloaded the nerdtree one from its git repository onto a ~/.vim/plugin directory.
Then, I have moved the NERD_tree.vim file from the ~/.vim/plugin/nerdtree-master directory up to ~/.vim/plugin.

When launching vim I have the following errors :
Error detected while processing ~/.vim/plugin/NERD_tree.vim:
line 68:
E117: Unknown function: nerdtree#runningWindows
E116: Invalid arguments for function <SNR>6_initVariable
line 94:
E117: Unknown function: nerdtree#runningWindows

I think I have missed something when installing, isn't it ?

Thanks for your help

Repository also contains files in autoload/, doc/, lib/, nerdtree_plugin/, syntax/ subdirectories. You need all of these directories with threir contents placed into $HOME/.vim.

By the way, does not plugin has installation instructions? I do not think they include "take one file out of many and place it into .vim/plugin".

​Hello,

It looks like you are doing it wrong. You can't install this plugin by *only* using that file, as it depends on several other files. You should be using another way to install such plugin, and that's by using something along the lines of pathogen which makes dealing with plugins so much easier.

Head over to http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2332 for instructions.

Good luck!​
