After I sent my original e-mail, I did think to check where
$VIMRUNTIME was located. I removed all instances of anything vim*
related.
I then attempted the :Nread command and got what I expected... E492:
Not an editor command: Nread...
I then :so % the vimball and checked the runtime location for any
netrw files. None were there.
Is there a way to make direct the installation where to install?
Is there a way to see where the source is installing? or a manual
installation?
Do you have an up-to-date vimball? There's the same sort of issue with
vimball as netrw; you'll need to remove
all vestiges of the vim 7.0 vimball before installing the new one.
However, vimball comes as a gzipped tarball
so as to avoid requiring vimball to install vimball. You can get the
latest version from my website
(http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/index.html#VimBall). You may
install vimball in your distribution directories
or in your $HOME/.vim/ directories. Then
vim netrw.vba.gz
:so %
:q
should install netrw in your $HOME/.vim/ directories. After performing
the steps above, you can
cd $HOME/.vim
ls */netrw*.*
and you should see a number of netrw plugin components.
vim .
should open netrw and show v107l (if you've gotten the latest netrw from
my website).
