Whether you put the latex-suite files in /usr/share/vim/vimfiles or
in ~/.vim is pretty much up to you and whether or not you want them
available to other users. I avoided discussing ~/.vim because I'm
not familiar with Macs and don't know how much of what works on
other Unixes works on OS X.

Apparently the attachment didn't survive.

Yes.

It doesn't need to be your shell's search path; it needs to be in
Vim's 'runtimepath', and it should already be there. If you execute
:set rtp?
the result should look something like this:
runtimepath=~/.vim,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vim/vim70,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after,~/.vim/after
That came from a system running Aurora SPARC Linux, but from what
you've written so far, I would expect it to look similar on OS X.
The 'runtimepath' option tells Vim where to look for plugins just as
PATH tells the shell where to look for executables. See
:help rtp
One other thing. You said you deleted ~/.vim. Do you still have a
~/.vimrc? Without that file, Vim may start in 'compatible' mode,
which causes it to behave more like vi than like vim.

You're welcome.
