I wrote that a long time ago (back when I used to run a PowerPC Mac on OS X 10.4; I'm not on a Mac anymore now, and so I can't verify). Maybe they've removed that preference... Type: :h macvim-login-shell inside Vim to see if that help page still exists. If it does, it should tell you where to find the preference. That help page existed in April of 2010, and so I'm guessing it should still exist now. (either way, I'm starting to suspect the problem has less to do with Vim-LaTeX and more to do with your Vim environment) The vim-mac mailing list (where MacVim discussions go on) can be accessed via Google Groups at: http://groups.google.com/group/vim_mac?pli=1 If you search for "login shell" and sort by date, you'll find recent messages discussing the preference. I get the impression that it is now turned on by default. If it is, you could try turning it off. I don't remember, but I *THINK* using (at a Terminal prompt) defaults write org.vim.MacVim MMLoginShell 0 will turn it off (but maybe that was a hidden setting for something else). There used to be a checkbox in the MacVim preferences that let you control the pref... Maybe they made it all hidden now (via the "MMLoginShell" hidden pref)... The details should be in that ":h macvim-login-shell" --Ted > > <http://phaseportrait.blogspot.com/2007/12/file-associations-and-path-with-macvim.html>However, > I don't see the preference pane you mention that allows you to "launch > Vim processes in a login shell."
