Latex and vim-latexsuite installation confusion
Hi there, this is my first post in this forum. I have installed ubuntu (kubuntu) linux on my MacBook Air, and have been looking at vim. I am keen to use vim to create and edit files for Latex. I downloaded and installed (as far as I can discern - the apt-get information showed it had been 'done'. I then tried to use \ ll to operate on a basic latex file, but nothing seemed to happen. I noticed that no extra files appetilared in my home folder as should happen. Then I realised I needed to download Latex itself, so did so using apt-get. It took ages to download (even though I took the option of the slimmer package rather than the full one) and to install. All done. Except that I am still not getting anything happening in my vim terminal when \ll is pressed. Doing 'locate latex' turns up all the files in /usr/share/. Is this the problem, and/or how would I fix this? I am still not fully understanding about where packages get downloaded and installed by default, and why it matters.
I also downloaded the source folders and unzipped them to my home folder (as instructions on the vim-latex site/page, so I have those files there but not doing anything as far as I am aware. Any help greatly appreciated. Will. |
Hi Will,
welcome to LQ, and welcome to Linux :) I neither use Ubuntu nor Vim, but I can give you some general hints. Quote:
