error while running "source .vimrc"
bash, ubuntu-12.04, vim
Solution
You tried to source your Vim configuration file from bash. Do it from Vim:
$ vim
:source /path/to/.vimrc
If it's located at `~/.vimrc`, Vim will source that file automatically.
Problem
i am having a simple vimrc file when i run "source .vimrc" in ubuntu I am getting the following error. ``` $ source .vimrc bash: .vimrc: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `"syntax"' bash: .vimrc: line 3: `if has("syntax")' ``` Here is my script file ``` set term=builtin_ansi set nu if has("syntax") syntax on endif ``` I do have syntax installed in my vim. ``` vim --version | grep syntax vim: /home/shankaran/src/ns/service/build/dp/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0) vim: /home/shankaran/src/ns/service/build/dp/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0) -sniff +startuptime +statusline -sun_workshop +syntax +tag_binary ```
