Setup:
OS=Opensolaris 2008.11
vim=See full `:version output at the end
When I start vim on a file it does not source the ~/.vimrc file.
That file is actually a symlink to the hard file elsewhere.
Permissions are on both slink and hard copy:
ls -l ~/.vimrc:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 reader staff 35 [...] /export/home/reader/.vimrc -> \
/cvsb/zfs/export/home/reader/.vimrc
ls -l /cvsb/zfs/export/home/reader/.vimrc:
-rw-r--r-- 1 reader wheel 8649 [....] \
/cvsb/zfs/export/home/reader/.vimrc
user reader belongs to both staff and wheel groups.
If I souce ~/.vimrc manually after opening a file it works fine:
vim .bashrc
:so ~/.vimrc
Then all the setting I have in ~/.vimrc show up. Obvious because
syntax highlignting suddenly comes on.
What might cause ~/.vimrc to be ignored on vim start
