Is that all the error it gives you (anything else from running :messages
)? I don’t see a line number. Granted, there may be none, but if there happened to be one it would probably help with debugging.
Edit: Wait. Is that 72948
a line number? Now I really want to see any more message text. :smiley:
I'm sorry if I was unclear. Vim never starts up, that is the shell output. Vim is completely unusable in this state.
Ah ah ah. No, I think I was just a bit slow there (clearly could use more coffee).
Weird. I just tried installing it again myself and apparently failed — I ran the install script and also tried using Vundle, but I don’t see the :VimChat
command — so I can’t even see if Vim starts up when it’s installed. :disappointed:
Edit again: The Vundle problem seems to be its own issue, which I’d missed. https://github.com/ironcamel/vimchat/issues/26
OK — just my own oversight once again (sorry!). Apparently I’d not installed xmpppy on this machine. I just did, and now with an account listed in the config file, I get:
Vim: Caught deadly signal SEGV
Vim: Finished.
zsh: segmentation fault vim
(I’m using zsh.) So that makes two of us.
One (notable?) difference is that I don’t get the segfault until I run the :VimChat
command. Vim starts up fine with the plugin installed. And the problem starts with the server communication, I’d wager; with no account in the config file, I can run the command, although nothing happens.
I'm also using ZSH but I just verified the problem is exactly the same if you use Bash.
Odd that it's dying with a different process signal (mine: ABRT, yours: SEGV).
Originally I didn't have an account in my .vimchat/config
file but there was no change when I added one.
I still think there are missing dependencies, but I don't know which ones or how to install them.
I’m wondering if there are outdated dependencies. Similarly though I don’t know which ones they would be (I’m sadly no Pythonist). @ironcamel? @throughnothing?
@throughnothing uses OSX exclusively. Sorry, I only have access to linux machines. @throughnothing, want to chime in?
@kgust @fifthposition I had some trouble recently getting vimchat to run on arch linux because of a bug in the xmpppy library: https://github.com/eventlet/eventlet/issues/124#issuecomment-69775480
I got around it by installing this this forked version of xmppy which has patched the bug: https://github.com/ArchipelProject/xmpppy
pip install git+https://github.com/ArchipelProject/xmpppy
Can you guys try installing that and see if it fixes your issue.
I have installed the VimChat bundle. Now starting vim gives me...
I installed xmppy-0.5.0c1-py2.7.egg with
easy_install xmpppy
. That made no difference.My Vim (7.4.258) is installed via Homebrew and does include +python. What am I doing wrong?
BTW, removing the plugin does cause the problem to go away.
