From: aidy on 9 May 2006 09:14 Hi, I have installed the VIM 7 editor on Win32 and typed ':help ruby'. I receive this message 'The Ruby interface only works when Vim was compiled with the |+ruby| feature.' I have looked on Ruby.org (http://vim-ruby.rubyforge.org/) and I am told that the Ruby configuration files should be pre-packed with VIM 7. Not so sure what to do now. Any ideas? Thanks Aidy
From: projecktzero on 9 May 2006 09:34 I think that the +ruby feature is only if you want to write VIM scripts in Ruby. The Ruby syntax highlighting should still work when you edit Ruby programs/scripts because the ruby.vim plug comes with VIM7.
From: aidy on 9 May 2006 11:40 The highlighing and indentation are fine, but according to this: (http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?VimRubySupport), I should be able to run any Ruby command through VIM via the ruby plugins. I have also entered these parameters in the _vimrc file set nocompatible " We're running Vim, not Vi! syntax on " Enable syntax highlighting filetype on " Enable filetype detection filetype indent on " Enable filetype-specific indenting filetype plugin on " Enable filetype-specific plugins Cheers Aidy

I can't seem to find any mention of "+ruby" or "if_ruby", nor any samples of any case where Vim is *executing* Ruby. That page discusses files in the vim-ruby project, a collection of Ruby-related vimfiles to aid in Ruby coding and development and is unrelated to (though may be useful for) Vim's +ruby feature.

My editor of choice is vim, and I would love to use the built-in Ruby interpretor. I DO have it compiled in, I just don't know how to use it. -- -slunky |
