The GVIM i'm using is compiled by the system admin.
The syntax directory (common to all users) the GVIM
executable points does not allow me to write.
I have downloaded a new syntax file (vera.vim) and
placed it in my $HOME/.vim/syntax and modified the
filetype.vim (in $HOME/.vim/)appropriate file
extensions recognize this syntax file. (i.e. au
BufNewFile,BufRead *.vr,*.vri,*.vrh set ft=vera)
I source the filetype.vim and set syntax on in my
.gvimrc
Now when I try to open somefile.vr it doesn't 'syntax
highlight' the file . but if i check with :set
syntax=<tab> it gives me vera .
(If I source the vera.vim file in .gvimrc it give the
syntax highlighting.)
I tried to set the $VIMRUNTIME to $HOME/.vim but was
of no avail.
How do I get GVIM to read these syntax files ?
:version gives the following output
:version
