While this works fine on Linux; Mac OS X Vim does not recognize or read the $Home/.vim directory, is there an alternate location to place the IDE files?

On Windows it is the c:/program files/vim/plugin directory or something close to that. Can't figure what it might be on Mac.

This may not be much help, but on my mac running OS X the ~/.vim directory *is* recognized. My runtimepath variable is as follows (shown by typing `:set runtimepath=` and then pressing <Tab> to populate the current value of the variable; it's convenient for cut-and-paste):

~/.vim,/Applications/Vim.app/Contents/Resources/vim/vimfiles,/A
pplications/Vim.app/Contents/Resources/vim/runtime,/Applications/Vim.app/Content
s/Resources/vim/vimfiles/after,~/.vim/after

I don't believe I did anything special to get runtimepath setup like this. I did compile Vim 7.206 myself, with :version information below.
