I ran the command directly in the terminal and found that I didn't have the environment variable VIMRUNTIME set. So, I set this to '/usr/share/vim', once I did that I received the following error: Error detected while processing function Cream_menus: line 4: E484: Can't open file /usr/share/vim/delmenu.vim Error detected while processing function Cream_colors_reset: line 3: E484: Can't open file /usr/share/vim/syntax/syntax.vim So, I thought aha! this must be the problem. Well I found that these files are located under the vim72 folder, so updated VIMRUNTIME to be '/usr/share/vim/vim72', which then it couldn't find the cream folder, since that was under the '/usr/share/vim' folder. So I copied the cream folder into the 'vim72' folder. Once I did that cream started correctly with no errors. However, wait for it.....there was still no menu. On top of that I ran good chown -R across the whole vim directory and still had no luck. Should VIMRUNTIME be set by default when I install the vim packages? Also, do you know exactly what directory this should be pointed at, I assume that I shouldn't have had to move the cream directory or any files for that matter in order to get it to start correctly.
