Until about a month ago :help worked fine in vim, however now it gives: E433: No tags file E149: Sorry, no help for help.txt
Initially I thought it was because I set -doc in USE, but vim does not use this use flag. Searching for this particular error produces loads of pages due to "tags file" matching lots of comments about vim. I eventually found (from the VIM FAQ) that there should be a $RUNTIME/doc directory, which isn't present, despite putting "doc" in package.use for VIM, and upgrading it TODAY. I 'fixed' it by # ebuild /usr/portage/app-editors/vim/vim-7.0.174.ebuild unpack # cd /var/tmp/portage/app-editors/vim-7.0.174/work (after some stuffing around with the Makefile and grep) # mv -v runtime/doc /usr/share/vim/vim70 and :help now works. So, why isn't emerge putting the doc directory in place? I've been reading the Makefile but I've not noticed any USE flag control (not that I understand how USE flags control the build). -- [email protected] mailing list
