Installing vim with ruby support (+ruby)

Question

I\'m trying to get command-t installed for vim but my current version of vim doesn\'t have the (+ruby) flag. The command \"which ruby\" shows that ruby is installed.

Answer 1

I think "Compiling Vim With Ruby Integration On Snow Leopard" might actually help. I'm on exactly same boat at the moment.

Ok... got it to work. Took me like half hour or so.

This should help (I got Ubuntu):

sudo apt-get install mercurial
hg clone https://vim.googlecode.com/hg/ vim
cd vim
./configure --enable-rubyinterp
make
sudo make install

To test if things look fancy:

vim --version | grep ruby

Should return something like:

-python3 +quickfix +reltime -rightleft +ruby +scrollbind +signs +smartindent

Ruby should have plus now. Another trick to test it - enter vim and hit :ruby 1. Should not fail.
