If I put runtimepath in .vimrc they work, if I remove it they don't work. So the problem is not with plugins and > it's not with runtimepath. I don't know what else is different in this verison of vim. I'm not a programer and developer of vim. I'm just using it everyday. Even this email I'm typing in vim (without > plugins since I comment out runtimepath :) Um are you actually installing your plugins to ~/.vim/plugin? The runtime path above (the default) clearly includes the same directories that your manual runtimepath setting has... I don't know what you're doing, but you have some major config issues. Please mv your vimrc/gvimrc files away so that no extraneous config files are executed and try again. Which plugins in particular are you talking about? Can we get an "ls -l ~/.vim/plugin" ?
