Bug Description
Binary package hint: vim
I never get a "+ruby" in a "vim --version" command after compiling the 7.3.035 binaries (Natty's vim release) with the --enable ruby-interp flag. This causes significant vim scripts to fail.
I upgraded to the very latest release of vim (vim-7.3.277) from Mercurial, I WAS able to get the "vim --version" = "+ruby" But that version of vim did not work within Natty, showing a significant error after running "make test" about not being able to locate an object or something (sorry, didn't write it down) - couldn't even get a file to load when running that version of vim. So it loaded the ruby code but then had other problems. Going back to the vim version that was released within Natty (vim-7.3.035) still produced no +ruby in a "vim --version" command though it can open a file and read it.
I have installed ruby 1.9.2 , 1.91 and 1.91-dev . I cannot get a working vim installation that has a +ruby.
BTW: First ever bug report for me, so let me know if I have done something wrong. (I did not find any bug report on this subject.)
