Hello, I found what was wrong. The first problem was my idiocy; I had opened a file with no errors, made an error, then tried to compile without saving, since I'm used to a LaTeX editing environment that automatically saves before compiling. Sorry.
The second issue is I believe a bug and I found the problem. In "compiler.vim" on line 289 the execution command is being given with an "&" at the end so that it opens in the background. For evince (and other viewers I tried) on Ubuntu 8.10, this will result in nothing getting opened. Removing the ampersand makes everything work alright. Any idea why this is? A.

I can't get viewing to work.
