[Vim-latex-devel] Vim latex Suite is not compiling any .tex files (fwd)

[Srinath A. <sr...@fa...>]

Hello,

Raju here seems to have problems with compiling on a linux machine.
Since I dont have access to a linux machine with latex, I am forwarding
to the group, hoping someone can reproduce this/fix this.

Thanks,

Srinath

Subject: Vim latex Suite is not compiling any .tex files

Hi Srinath,

        I have installed vim-latex on my linux machine recently.
Everything seems to be working except the compiling part.  When i go to
Tex Suite menu and click on compile option nothing seems to happen
except the following line in my status bar.

:silent! call RunLaTeX()

I went through the documentation and found nothing about this message.
Also in the documentation file latex-suite.txt  - where it mentions
about latex-compiler-target - the texrc tag doesn't seem to be working.

I am using Red hat linux and vim 6.1. Am I missing something here?
please help me.

Thanks in advance.

bye

      Try

:call RunLaTeX()

You will probably get an error message about not understanding the 
option --src-specials .  (I do, with RH 8.0 and whatever version of 
teTeX it installs.)  In the texrc file, find the lines

if has('win32')
	let s:CompileFlags = '--src-specials'
	TexLet g:Tex_EscapeChars = ''
else
	let s:CompileFlags = '--src-specials'
	TexLet g:Tex_EscapeChars = '{}\'
endif

and change the fifth line to

	let s:CompileFlags = ''

I have just uploaded a new version with this change, and also updated 
the installation instructions in the comments at the top, but for now 
you can only get the new version from CVS.

      It works for me.  After installing, did you remember to do

:helptags ~/.vim/doc

      Probably installnig the latest (beta) version of teTeX will also 
work.  You can also change the compiler rules to use pdftex, which can 
also produce dvi output and which does support the --src-specials option.

Oops :( My fault.
I thought I didn't make that commit.

Hmm. For me it compiles. Yes I see this line and it looks like nothing
happen but it works. Maybe there should be any message about status of
work?

I can do from menu compilation and later see it from menu.
Mdk9, TeXLive7, gvim6.1.255 (rpm from Jeremy Brand:
http://nirvani.org/software/vim )
