Minor bug on Debian

dickontoo opened this issue · 4 comments

The README.md needs a slight update, to avoid a runtime issue on modern Debian systems: the package liblua-5.x-0-dbg needs to be installed or vim fails to load the plugin with the error:

gvim: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblua5.2.so.0: no version information available (required by gvim)
color_coded unavailable: you need to compile it (see README.md)

I have no idea why this is...

Interesting. I do not have that package installed on my debian testing system and have no issues with color_coded. Are you perhaps using a custom gvim version? Also, does this only happen with gvim or with the terminal version of vim as well?

newdesktop:/home/dickon/ (0) 17 $ vim --version
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Aug 17 2015 03:37:50)

which is what I got with an apt-get yesterday on stretch/sid. Happens on both vim and gvim.

Just did a fresh install of debian stretch and was unable to reproduce the issue.
Am I correct in assuming you installed vim-gtk to provide vim and gvim?
Still, I think this may be something worth noting in the FAQ/Troubleshooting section. Thanks for letting us know about this.
