Vim AutoComplPop issues?

Question

I need auto-completion in vim for programming languages, for that I downloaded the AutoComplPop followed the instructions mentioned there and copied the files cp -r

Downloads/ns9tks-vim-l9-3bb534a720fa/plugin/*
Downloads/ns9tks-vim-l9-3bb534a720fa/doc/*
Downloads/ns9tks-vim-l9-3bb534a720fa/autoload/*

to the vim directories

/usr/share/vim/vim74/plugin/
/usr/share/vim/vim74/autoload/
/usr/share/vim/vim74/doc/

It gave the error about L9 : Vim-script library, downloaded from here and did the same with these files copied its file to the vim respective directories when I copied the autoload directory content of the L9 library there was sub directory named l9 when it goes there in vim autoload directory it gave the permissions problem so I changed its permissions to chmod 644, now it doesn't give the L9 Library error but when I edit a file

vim hello.html

it gives the errors when I press i to insert and keep giving the errors if I type anything.

Error detected while processing function <SNR>9_feedPopup..<SNR>9_finishPopup:
line    4:
E117: Unknown function: l9#tempvariables#end

Press ENTER or type command to continue

and surely auto-complete doesn't work !
Help !

Answer 1

i used this method to install this plugin and it worked perfectly :

1. download the latest version of the plugin fron here http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1879
2. create the folder "~/.vim" with the command "mkdir ~/.vim".
3. extract the contained of your downloaded file (the first step) (you will have a new folder called "vim-autocomplpop" when you finish the extraction)
4. copy all the contained of the folder "vim-autocomplpop" into the folder "~/.vim" with the command "cp -r /path/to/vim-autocomplpop/* ~/.vim/".
5. add the lines of this website in your ".vimrc" file http://fr.openclassrooms.com/forum/sujet/vim-autocompletion-avec-tab
6. open vim now and you'll see that it works like magic.

Answer 2

you just have to create another .vimrc file with this command "touch ~/.vimrc", then all what you have to do is to put this lines in it with a text editor, then you just have to do what i told you to do in the firs message(except for the 4th step because i already included those lines in this answer)

runtime! debian.vim

if has("syntax")

  syntax on

endif

set background=dark

set showcmd     " Show (partial) command in status line. 

set ignorecase      " Do case insensitive matching

set autowrite       " Automatically save before commands like :next and :make

Answer 3

Did you make the same chmod changes to the files inside that autoload/l9 directory?

So you are talking about two plugins by the same author:

AutoComplPop 2.14.1 http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1879

L9 1.1 http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3252

Your text says you installed them both. I installed them both and they seem to work OK. Please double check they are installed properly. The error you are getting talks about not finding autoload/l9/tempvariables.vim line #46 where there's an end function.

If the permissions on the files in that autoload/l9 directory don't allow you to get to the proper function it seems like that would be the error it would give.
