The default value of 'runtimepath' in this package is wrong.
According to ":help 'runtimepath'", it should be (without the
newlines),
$HOME/.vim,
$VIM/vimfiles,
$VIMRUNTIME,
$VIM/vimfiles/after,
$HOME/.vim/after
In this package it is instead,
$HOME/.vim,
$VIM,
$VIMRUNTIME,
$VIM/after,
$HOME/.vim/after
or literally,
/home/garyjohn/.vim,
/usr/share/vim,
/usr/share/vim/vim73,
/usr/share/vim/after,
/home/garyjohn/.vim/after
Note that the vimfiles subdirectory below $VIM is missing.
The only way I can see that that could happen would be if configure
was given the --with-global-runtime option with the wrong value,
/usr/share/vim instead of /usr/share/vim/vimfiles. It is normally
not necessary to use that option at all.
