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

Pulling the vim source using Mercurial and changing into the directory will give you the ability to configure your vim install before you compile it.

hg clone https://vim.googlecode.com/hg/ vim
cd vim
./configure --enable-rubyinterp

The --enable-xxinterp option can be used for Python, Perl, or any other language that Vim will support. Just type it in where the xx is and it will work.

Running the help option with the configure command will allow you to see all of the configuration options.

./configure --help
