Hi
I have two vim installations. One is on Debian Etch, vim 7.0-122. The
other one is Redhat 7.3, vim 7.0. On Debian I am using the distribution
provided vim packages. On Redhat, I compiled vim 7.0 myself. Both
machines have the same .vim, .vimrc, .gvimrc etc.,
Now I have a .F90 file whose contents looks like
function name(args)
...
end function
Let's say my cursor is on f of function.
On debian, If I enter %, it goes to "end function" line.
On Redhat, If I enter %, it goes to the end of that line. That is on
Redhat machine, it sees match between (, ) instead of match between
function, end function.
My configuration files are temporarily hosted at
http://kamaraju.googlepages.com/vim_problems
Please let me know how to get the correct behavior on the Redhat machine
as well...

see ":help matchit-install"
As an alternative to copying the files, you may want to add a pair of
softlinks (untested):
~/.vim/plugin/matchit.vim ->
/usr/local/share/vim/vim70/macros/matchit.vim
~/.vim/doc/matchit.txt -> /usr/local/share/vim/vim70/macros/matchit.txt

Thanks. But is there any way to do this without populating the ~/.vim
directory? On Debian it works by default. Why does not it work like that on
Redhat as well?
BTW, on Redhat machine when I did
:so ~/myroot/share/vim/vim70/macros/matchit.vim then % works fine. I wonder
how it is automatically sourced in Debian and why it was not on Redhat. On
both machines VIMRUNTIME is same. i.e. on Debian,
:echo $VIMRUNTIME results in /usr/share/vim/vim70 and on Redhat it points to
~/myroot/share/vim/vim70. So where is the difference coming from? Do I need
to do something while compiling vim?
thanks

In a standard Vim installation (as downloaded from the vim.org site) matchit
is not installed by default, IIUC for upwards compatibility reasons. Now
Debian is known for making changes to the programs they install, to such an
extent that, for instance, they have been refused the right to distribute the
SeaMonkey browser (as modified by Debian) under its original name.
If on Debian it works "out of the box", then I guess Debian made nonstandard
changes, possibly by moving matchit.vim from $VIMRUNTIME/macros to
$VIMRUNTIME/plugins and matchit.txt from $VIMRUNTIME/macros to
$VIMRUNTIME/doc. Bram could have done that, but I suppose it would have broken
the use of Vim for users who did _not_ want to use matchit.
And no, you shouldn't do anything before compiling Vim. If the softlinks I
gave you work, you won't need to change anything until Vim 7.1 comes out: they
will automagically pick any changes made to those files (if you download their
new versions) in the lifetime of the 7.0 release. You might just have to run
the ":helptags" command in ~/.vim/doc if matchit.txt is modified. However, I
don't expect changes to either of these files in any foreseeable future.
Best regards,
Tony.
