[Vim-latex-devel] problems with referencing, compiling. Windows 2000.

[Ian L. <ila...@uc...>]

Hello I have just installed the VIM-Latex suite.  This was a fresh install
of VIM and the Latex suite so everything is up to date.  I do have some
previous VIM experience.  I encountered a problem (described below), and
un-installed VIM, then reinstalled everything.

My setup:
Windows 2000, SP4.  VIM version 6.3 compiled June 7.  Latex suite 1.5.

Basic problem:  I was going through the tutorial.  Everything worked fine
until the section on inserting a reference.  Step 7 suggests writing
(\ref{}) and hitting F9 between {}.  When I hit F9 a small DOS window
briefly pops up on the taskbar, VIM starts to do something (happens very
fast), and then nothing.  It should be noted that at first I had F9 mapped
to another program shorcut.  I unmapped it and then did the re-install, so I
don't think that is the problem any more.  Note that :map <F9> gives "No
mapping found" as a reply.

Next problem:  I went on to the compile section of the tutorial, and when I
hit \ll  VIM sputtered again, but no .dvi file was made anywhere.   The
compile GUI command gives the same results.

I followed the "here" link for suggestions about compiling problems.

Suggestion #
1.	When I try the "echo" command, I get
latex -interaction=nonstopmode $*
I am unsure what command to try and execute.  I tried typing \input but
after hitting "i" vim went into insert mode.
tex.vim does not exist in my ftplugin directory, but bibtex.vim does exist
in my ftplugin/latex-suite directory.

2.	:set makeprg does give the same result
3.	Gives the E117 Unknown function: Tex_RunLaTeX().   But I am using the
most current version available!  I am not using a bash shell.

Thanks a lot to anyone who can help.

P.S.  If this thing gets working I promise to give $20 to the orphans.
Seriously.
