Hi I'm learning vimlatex portable version (we have a locked in system at work). When I compile a .dvi file does not appear. I've followed the troubleshoot instructions, and it appears that vimlatex cannot find latex.exe (step 3). The environment variable is called %PATH as specified in the instructions, and I've double-checked the path name. I note that there is also another program with the environment variable path (lower case). Could anyone advise me on why this isn't working? Could it be to do with spaces in the path name? Many thanks Nick Riches -- Lecturer in Speech and Language Pathology Room 1.9 King George VI Building Queen Victoria Road University of Newcastle-upon Tyne NE1 7RU 0191 222 8720 |

Nick, are you using vim in a GNU/Linux distribution or in another operational system? Raniere |

Sorry, Raniere. Should have specified this in the email. It's Windows 7.

It could be, but since you haven't provided
- the value of %PATH%, or within Vim, $PATH,
- the path to latex.exe,
- the command you use to compile, or
- what you see on the screen when you compile,
it's hard to tell.
Regards,
Gary

Hi Gary Thanks for response. Here's some more info... - When I type :echo $PATH in vim I get a whole load of stuff, but it doesn't appear to contain the environment variable for latex.exe. (image below) - The path (called $PATH) is "C:\Users\Nick Riches\Documents\miktexportable\miktex\bin", so it definitely contains a space. It's very difficult to get rid of this space as it is part of my user name (I would have to set up a new account and transfer everything over - a big pain) - Command to compile is \ll - The compile tells me that it "Ran latex 1 time", but it doesn't pick up errors, and no .dvi appears, so it doesn't appear to be running latex.

Right. I think you need to add the directory of latex.exe to that.
It may work to add this to your vimrc:
let $PATH .= ';C:\Users\Nick Riches\Documents\miktexportable\miktex\bin'

If I could set up my Windows system again, I would not give it it my
first and last names. That space has indeed been a huge pain.
In my case, my MikTex files are under "C:\Program Files", but that
space never seemed to cause a problem for vim-latex.

When I compile LaTeX files, I also get a file with a .log extension.
You may find a clue in there.

Gary

Many thanks Gary I have managed to sort it. While the vimlatex instructions refer to $PATH the windows path variable is merely called "Path". So there's the VIM name and the windows name. I'm getting it to compile in a directory with no space in the path, and now I need to experiment with a directory with a space in the path Thanks for input!
