Plugin (vim-latex) crashing gVim on startup

Question

I'm trying to use vim-latex with gVim on Windows XP, but as soon as I open a .tex file (or as soon as I set ft=tex) gVim crashes with no error messages visible. The crash doesn't occur in console vim.

I've followed the setup instructions to a T (as far as I can tell), and I've tried disabling all other plugins and stripping my .vimrc as well.

I tried running gvim -V9log.txt file.tex, but the output didn't help me, I'll include it here in case you can get anything useful from it.

Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide you with.

EDIT : Here is a normal/successful startup log using -V9 as well (linked to avoid making this needlessly long). It also has some odd looking lines like:

Searching for "C:\Program Files\Vim/vimfiles\filetype.vim"
Searching for "C:\Program Files\Vim\vim73\filetype.vim"

So it's probably not the mixed slashes that are causing problems.

EDIT2 : If you know other approaches to debugging vim plugin problems I would love to hear those as well!

Answer 1

As some follow up. I've recently tried this on Windows 7 with gvim 7.3 and this version of vim-latex without problems.

Answer 2

This is a rather old question but it is still unresolved. Facts are:

• GVim 7.3
• Win XP
• latest vim-latex plugin
• It crashes if "filtype plugin on" is set
• It crashes if there any \begin{...} statements; if those are commented out it will not crash!

Answer 3

I guess vijayvithal is on the right track. Probably the root cause in Windows is a non standard or changed python.exe location.

C:\Python27\python.exe

In my case it is Anaconda distribution. The same symptom as reported for latex-suite can be observed in this case when doing

:python print "goodbye world!

Not sure how to change the python path used in vim maybe it is defined during compilation? If someone knows we would have the solution for the problem.

Workarounds:

1) vijayvithal suggestions

2) Seperate python installation only for vim
