Question

After a system upgrade to:

• Distributor ID: Ubuntu
• Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
• Release: 12.04
• Codename: precise

Each time I open vim I get these errors, any hint? If needed I can provide .vimrc file. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The cause seems to be rather obvious: you use a version of Vim that's not built with python support.

The solution is also rather obvious: install a Vim built with python support.

If you use a graphical environment:

$ sudo apt-get install vim-gnome

If you don't:

$ sudo apt-get install vim-nox
