How can I use ctags with vim?

Question

I have created a tags file using ctags in my source code directory. Now, how can I use it with vim? If I open a file and press ctrl-] on a variable or function name, vim says: E426: tag not found: variable1

:set tags=/home/ptomblin/ctags,/usr/local/src/ctags

You can put that in your main .vimrc file.
