This morning, I started getting that message when I attempt to open a file in Vim. Vim is my editor of choice for config files, git commit messages and the like, but is not my day to day code editor. I clearly did something to invite this message, but I have no idea what. I did recently uninstall an older version of XCode from /Developer-3.2.6, but that’s the only thing that comes to mind that seems even tangentially related.

I’m running OSX Lion. Is Excuberant ctags part of the base install? I know I didn’t install it intentionally, but if it’s not native, then maybe it came along with something else? Any ideas about how to either get the plugin back or remove references to it so I don’t get the warning message?

Thanks.

    That looks a lot like the message the taglist plugin emits when it can’t find a ctags program. If you run :scriptnames, do you see plugin/taglist.vim in the list of sourced files? If you do, then you’ll probably want to remove that and doc/taglist.txt under the same directory structure.
