Pathogen does not load plugins

Question

Pathogen does not work for me. I am following Adam Lowe\'s hints posted here (and few more) without any success...

My vimrc:

filetype off
call pathogen

If your .vim is based on a git repo and submodules, DO REMEMBER to run git submodule init and git submodule update after cloning the repo. i.e.

git submodule init
git submodule update

I had the same error and tried all of the above, but it didn't work. Until I initialized and updated the git submodules.

Hope this helps for anyone who has a similar error.
