I'm installing vim 7.4 port:

Everything seems to go ok, but when I enter vim:

YouCompleteMe unavailable: requires Vim 7.3.584+
The EnhancedDiff Plugin needs at least a Vim version 7.4
Press ENTER or type command to continue

In fact, version reported within vim is:

It looks like you have successfully installed the MacPorts version of vim, but are still running the Apple version of vim.

comment:3 Changed 10 years ago by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)

Have you already tried running hash -r, or closing the terminal window and making a new one?

If yes, what is the value of your PATH environment variable? Does /opt/local/bin come first in it, or at least before /usr/bin?

Gosh. I'm really sorry about this. I tried again now and it worked perfectly (probably because I opened a new terminal window). But that shouldn't be necessary, should it? I mean, my $PATH is correct (/opt/local/bin before /usr/bin and others). So, once sudo port install finishes, it should locate the macports one first... I don't really know what happened here. This can be closed. Thanks.

Resolution: invalid
Status: newclosed

You ran 'vim' before installing the vim port and it found the binary at /usr/bin/vim. Your shell remembers the path where it found the binary for a command and it will just use the same path if you type the same command again. The shell will not notice any new binary in PATH. To clear this cache of your shell you need to run hash -r or simply start a new shell.
