You are confusing a couple of different things here, let's see if we can simplify.

What is the "mvim" and what do I do with it? mvim is a convenient script for launching MacVim from the command line. If you only ever use the dock or the finder you shouldn't need it. If you want to launch MacVim from within a terminal (or iTerm) window then macvim is one of doing so. There have been a couple of recent threads on this list about mvim, have a look at this one; http://groups.google.com/group/vim_mac/browse_thread/thread/7a48f09e4c0d1fc9# > 2.

Open a terminal window, and type the following commands (the '$' is the prompt, don't type that); $ cd $ mkdir .vim $ unzip <your taglist.zip file location> .vim/ > > 3. How do I install and configure Exuberant Ctags for use with MacVim? > The taglist plugin relies on Exuberant Ctags to work properly. Your Mac will have gnu ctags installed but this is known to cause issues with the Taglist plugin. You can find Exuberant Ctags here - http://ctags.sourceforge.net - and can install it from source from that site or you can install it using one of the Mac package managers such as Macports (http://macports.org/) or Fink (http://www.finkproject.org). You then need to tell the Taglist plugin where to find Exuberant Ctags by adding a line something like this to your .vimrc file; let Tlist_Ctags_Cmd='/opt/local/bin/ctags' Regards, Andy -- From the desk of Andrew J Todd esq - http://www.halfcooked.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
