vim plugin FuzzyFinderTextMate error

Question

I installed the vim plugin on many different ways. I try to start it with Ctrl-T but what I get is always that error: E492: Not an editor command: FuzzyFinderTextMate

Answer 1

I was getting the same error "E492: Not an editor command: FuzzyFinderTextMate" with OS X 10.6.2. It turns out the default vim installation in Snow Leopard was not compiled with ruby support. Once I recompiled vim with ruby support, the plugin worked as expected.

The installation steps that worked for me:

1. Compile Vim with Ruby using macports: sudo port install vim +ruby
2. Download fuzzyfinder.vim 2.16 to ~/.vim/plugin
3. Download fuzzy_file_finder.rb to ~/.vim/ruby
4. Download fuzzyfinder_textmate.vim to ~/.vim/plugin
5. Added the following line to ~/.vimrc: map <C-j> :FuzzyFinderTextMate<CR>
