This looks like a similar error to that discussed here: 
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/vim_dev/tZPJ7mx2FQg/discussion

The cause was that plugins were not being loaded (in that thread, because of 
running vimtutor), and the help files were compressed, thus needing a plugin to 
uncompress them before using them.

Are you suppressing the loading of plugins somehow?

write a very basic syntax file (follow up questions)

2015-11-11 Thread Jose Caballero 
Hi,

I sent the question "write a very basic syntax file" yesterday to this forum.
Thanks to the help provided I managed to write it.
But I have a couple of related questions.




(1) I was suggested to search for the inline help

  :help new-filetype

However, if I do that, I get this

  "filetype.txt.gz" [readonly][noeol][converted] 26L, 12168C
  E434: Can't find tag pattern
  Press ENTER or type command to continue

And therefore after hitting ENTER I only get garbage.
Why did that happen?





(2) Following the recommendations, I created a new filetype file as

  $HOME/.vim/filetype.vim

and the syntax file as

  $HOME/.vim/syntax/myfile.vim

But what if I want it to be part of the system?
In particular, if I want to distribute it as an RPM?
If I am not mistaken, for RHEL 6, the syntax files go under

  /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/

and the filetype one is

  /usr/share/vim/vim72/filetype.vim

Is that correct?
Is it always that PATH for RHEL hosts?
Is not possible to have separate filetype.vim files, `a la`
/.../filetype.d/  or similar?
I am asking this because creating new files with RPM is easy, adding
content to existing ones can be a truly nightmare :)





Once again, thanks a lot in advance.
Cheers,
Jose
