In (g)vim 7.0.90, when I try to invoke the help, let's say

Similarly for <F1>
E426: tag not found: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Running ":helptags" in the doc/ subdirectories of all 'rtp' directories
doesn't help.

Cleaned my ~/.vim and $VIM/vimfiles from a few obsolete and dubious
files, compiled 7.0.091 (with make reconfig), it works again (as
src/vim). "More fear than harm". Next thing is "make install".

tony -- all this weirdness with your help -- as dependant as
we are on whatever is insalled for 'ctags', i'd say you might
spend some time looking at whatever shows up for 'which ctags'
with a thought towards maybe fixing something there

IIUC it's the version of ctags that came with SuSE 9.3
rpm -qa |grep ctags
ctags-2004.11.15-3
which -a ctags
/usr/bin/ctags
ls -l `which ctags`
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 128852 Mar 19 2005 /usr/bin/ctags
ctags --version
Exuberant Ctags 5.5.4, Copyright (C) 1996-2003 Darren Hiebert
Compiled: Mar 19 2005, 19:18:40
Addresses: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://ctags.sourceforge.net
Optional compiled features: +wildcards, +regex
The wierdness appeared after installing the manpageview plugin from
vim-online, and disappeared after removing it as well as versions of the
netrw and vimball plugins which had become older than the default ones
due to a runtime rsync. Don't know what _any_ of those had to do with
not finding the help; and (I checked) my doc/tags files were OK --
anyway, regenerating them all using (internal) helptags changed nothing.
Best regards,
Tony.
