Error on using Vim-latex ("can't find file ~") <p>I'm not sure if this question is appropriate here but I have nowhere else to ask. I recently started to typeset some 'mathsy' stuff using Latex and it became a hobby for me. I've been using TeXnicCenter for this, but feeling that I've got familiar with Latex language, I decieded to improve 'efficiency' of typesetting by changing the editor.</p> <p>So I decided to use <strong>Vim</strong> (latest version, 7.4) with Suite-Latex. I've just installed Vim and Suite-Latex, following exactly what was instructed <a href="http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/index.php?subject=download&amp;title=Download" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I made every necessary changes mentioned <a href="http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/documentation/latex-suite/recommended-settings.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>, and it seemed to me that installation was successful (I got what was expected on Step 4)</p> <p>Then I started to work through <a href="http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/documentation/latex-suite-quickstart/lsq-using-tutorial.html" rel="nofollow">this tutorial</a> and everything went fine until <a href="http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/documentation/latex-suite-quickstart/lsq-inserting-reference.html" rel="nofollow">this section</a>.</p> <p>When I press F9 for autoreference, I see that Vim is working on something for split seconds and red error message refering to "can't find [some file name]" in my user/appdata/local/temp directory. The "file name" changes every time I do this (so its kind of temporary file as its directory suggests?). And then it produces a new window with title <strong>__ OUTLINE __</strong> where 2 empty lines are showing up.</p> <p>If I press n (in the new window described above) error message saying <strong>"E486: Pattern not found: rf"</strong> pops up and pressing j results in going down one row. If I press enter key, message <strong>":call Tex_FinishOutlineCompletion()"</strong> pops up.</p> <p>More frustratingly, if I try to compile a file by entering command \ll, a new window pops up where there are two lines saying:</p> <p>1.ll I can't find file `newfile.tex'. newfile.tex</p> <p>2.ll Emergency stop</p> <p>and below these is a message saying </p> <p><strong>[Quickfix list]: latex -interaction=nonstopmode -file-line-error-style newfile.tex</strong></p> <p>So I thought it maybe is something to do with VIM not being able to find files in my computer (so something wrong with grep?), and I tried to resolve it by downloading a software called "cygwin" on which developers said their tests were successful, but it changed nothing.</p> <p>But I think the two problems are related.</p> <p>As it is, I am completely newbie in this type of editing environment (or any kind of programming) but I really would like to learn some Vim seeing how efficient it is in typesetting etc. Sorry for not being a pro at typing codes here. Thanks for reading!</p>
