SCVim.sc gives error: Primitive '_FileWrite' failed

[dibson]

Hi there-

I'm trying to get started using SC with scvim. I've symlinked SCVim.sc and when I start the OS X SuperCollider app (not vim) the text below is in the Post window.

I'm really hoping to get this all working, thanks for getting this project up again.

best,
dibson

Hi dibson,
my guess is that you did not install scvim in the location: ~/.vim/bundle/supercollider naming is unfortunately necessary for the plugin to work.
I added a commit c9cb961 to clarify this issue and not throw an error with a faulty installation.

Indeed - I accidentally installed to "suppercollider". Thanks.
