What's your $PATH set to?
You can find out what your system thinks it's set to with
set PATH
at the command-prompt and you can show what Vim thinks it is by
issuing
:echo $PATH
your ~/bin directory should precede /usr/bin in the path. If it
follows /usr/bin or is absent, you need to set your path
accordingly (and export it if you're on *nix). Usually you can
tweak this in your .bashrc, .bash_profile, or your Environment
Variables dialog on (win32).
In my .bash_profile it reads:
if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then
export PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
fi
and in my Win32, I have a local User setting something like
PATH=c:\users\tchase\bin;%PATH%
(I'm away from my Win32 box at work, so I'm shooting from the hip
on that and can't guide you to that dialog)
