Vim vundle colorschemes - vimrc

Question

Hi I have been trying to configure vim on ubuntu.

All the packages seem to install fine. However if installing a colorscheme via vundle and then using colorscheme name it doesn't appear to find the scheme.

I have attempted to install railscasts, solarized and desert-warm but all have failed to load.

This is my .vimrc am I doing something wrong?

set nocompatible               " be iMproved
filetype off                   " required!

colorscheme desert-warm 

" next tab
map <F7> :tabn    
" previous tab
map <F8> :tabp
" Close Tab abd save
map <F9> ZZ
" open and edit file
map <F6> :tabedit

set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/vundle/
call vundle#rc()

" let Vundle manage Vundle
" required!
Bundle 'gmarik/vundle'

Answer 1

Try moving the colorscheme call to the end of the file.

Also, the color scheme name from your example doesn't work for me—it should be colorscheme desert-warm-256. To see a list of color schemes currently installed, try entering :colorscheme <TAB> interactively.

Answer 2

I think the answer to this question is that there is no call vundle#end() or syntax on in the original poster's .vimrc.

Adding these two lines and for example the colorscheme solarized line anywhere after the call vundle#end() would have solved the issue.
