Hi all
I am using Fedora 11 and vim 7. Was trying to install latex-suite. I did the instruction according to:
http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/index.php?subject=download&title=Download

No problem for the 1st step.
In the 2nd step, I did not find the file ~/.vimrc. However, there is a vimrc in /etc/. I am not sure I should edit /etc/vimrc or create ~/.vimrc. I did the later one. Now I create ~/.vimrc and edit it with the instruction according to:
http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/documentation/latex-suite/recommended-settings.html

Similarly, I did not find the file ~/.vim/ftplugin/tex.vim. There were two files and a folder, where were bib_latexSuite.vim, tex_latexSuite.vim, and latex-suite, respectively. So I created the file tex.vim and putted it into ~/.vim/ftplugin/.

The third step is really confusing. "start vim and do the following:

   helptags ~/.vim/doc"

Shouldn't there be a colon (:) before helptags? Whatever, I added a colon before helptags. Then I typed ":help latex-suite.txt". The latex-suite.txt file popped out. I thought I was done with the installation.

I tried "vim foo.tex" in bash shell. I did not get the latex-suite GUI as shown in :
http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/index.php?subject=screenshots&title=Screenshots

what I got looks like a regular vim editor:

Please help me with this. Thanks.
