[Vim-latex-devel] question about opening xdvi in vim-latex

From: John B. <jb...@gm...> - 2009-04-26 00:31:06

Hi guys I recently installed the latest svn version of vim-latex and I
am using texlive 2008. It is a great software.
However I personally have a weird problem stopping me from enjoying it:

It is about my xdvi in texlive2008. Every time I open it in a terminal
I have to wait for quite a bit long time,
and receive the folloing warning message:

Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion

So I add an alias

alias xdvi = "LC_ALL=C xdvi "

in my .bashrc. LC_ALL=C helps me to launch xdvi in terminal instaneously.
While for enjoying vim-latex, especially its forward search I have to make some
modification to launch xdvi by pressing \ls. However, I found
that if I write

let g:Tex_ViewRule_dvi = 'LC_ALL=C xdvi '

in my .vimrc  and pressing \ls I got thousands of error messages on the screen.
I could not paste the messages out since everytime when I tried to select them
and copy them, they disappered. I guess the problem is the updated
compiler.vim, since
I did not met this problem in the older version of vim-latex. So I tried to
replace all words xdvi  in .vim/ftplugin/latex-suite/compiler.vim by
LC_ALL=C xdvi.
but it does not work.:(

So, could anybody kindly help me on this issue? If anyone can explain
why xdvi spends so long time
to launch, it would be the best. Thank you :-)

John

Have you tried something like...

bash -c 'LC_ALL=C xdvi'

? That is,

let g:Tex_ViewRule_dvi = 'bash -c "LC_ALL=C xdvi \$1" xdvi '

You might have to play around with the quoting, but in principle I think 
it would work... <?>

Dear Ted:

yes I tried, it really works, however... by such configuration I
cannot get the forward search....
:(

Thank you very much for spending time on my question.

If I recall correctly, forward search passes the line number to xdvi via 
parameters. The line I suggested...

>> let g:Tex_ViewRule_dvi = 'bash -c "LC_ALL=C xdvi \$1" xdvi '

Only deals with one parameter. Try replacing the \$1 with \$* or \$@ 
(with some quoting to deal with spaces).

Dear Ted:

I appreciate you very much for your kindly help. However it is
regretful that it did not work
for me. But I just found an alternative way for this issue. I state it
out so that maybe some
other help can benefit from it.

Put the following line
:map \ld :execute '!LC_ALL=C xdvi -s 4  -sourceposition ' . line(".")
. expand("%") . " " . expand(Tex_GetMainFileName(':r')) . ".dvi
&"<CR><CR>
into .vimrc file. So that we can use \ld instead of \ls

I guess this is basically the vim-latex did for \ls....

I learned this from

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Vim_can_interact_with_xdvi

by which one can also defines the inverse search( which I never succeeded...)

Thank you Ted ;-) Thank you. Have a nice weekend.
