Hi all,

How can i switch off my line number colors on vim. I am getting line numbers on yellow .

Also I tried to switch on my vim syntax coloring. I got an error

Error detected while processing /home/ruzhunna/.vimrc:
line 1:
E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: :syntax on

Here is my vim info

VIM - Vi IMproved

version 6.0.152
by Bram Moolenaar et al.
Vim is open source and freely distributable

This is on RH linux .. and the same .vimrc works fine on solaris

Please help .....

You can copy the color scheme you're using to ~/.vim/colors. If the directory doesn't exist, create it. You can then edit it as you like.

Here is my .vimrc:

Code:

" Map Ctrl+N to (temporarily)  disable search highlighting
nmap <silent> <C-N> :silent noh<CR>
map :W :w
map :Q :q

" Settings
set softtabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set cindent
set ignorecase
set showmatch
set title
set showmode
set ttyfast
set wildchar=<TAB>
syntax on

" Use the java compiler and set the error format so we can jump between errors
set makeprg=javac\ %
set errorformat=%A%f:%l:\ %m,%-Z%p^,%-C%.%#

" Gentoo-portage specific stuff
if (getcwd() =~ 'gentoo-x86\|gentoo-src\|portage')
  set tabstop=4 shiftwidth=4 noexpandtab
endif

...and here is my ~/.gvimrc:

Code:

" Use all settings specifies in ~/.vimrc too
so ~/.vimrc

colo buttercream
"set guifont=Andale\ Mono\ 8
set guifont=ProFontWindows\ 9

How do you enable line numbering?

Thanks any help.

Type :set nu to enable it, and :set nu! to disable it if it is already enabled. To have it enabled through your .vimrc or .gvimrc it's the same command, only without the colon character.
