vimball files (.vba) fail to install on some systems about janus HOT 5 CLOSED

ZoomWin works on my mac. What is the error you're seeing?

from janus.

The particular error that seems to be throwing off the rake zoomwin task reads:

rake aborted!
No such file or directory - tmp/ZoomWin.vba

I've pasted the output in it's entirety to a this gist: http://gist.github.com/548581

Another issue I've run into during the install process is that after the task fails and before the stack trace is displayed (line 130 in the gist), vim (the CLI executable) is called and opens the Zoomwin vim/tarball. Why this happens is beyond me.

I get this problem on my work mac but not my home mac ... is there a system requirement?

Anyway as a workaround run "touch ~/.vim/tmp/ZoomWin.vba" to stop rake from aborting, you wont get zoomwin, but you will get everything else.

@o-sam-o can you get the output of vim --version on the two machines?

I just pushed 6ae5611 which should fix this issue. Instead of shelling out to vim to install the vimball archive, it is extracted using a simple ruby parser.
