Installing ctrlp in VIM using vundle


I'm using vundle as my plugin manager for vim.

However I'm having trouble installing ctrlp plugin.

When I execute :BundleInstall ctrlp, it outputs the following log with a fatal error:

Here is my .vimrc:

filetype plugin indent on
syntax enable
set background=light
set smartindent
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set expandtab
set nocompatible               " be iMproved
filetype off                   " required!

set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/vundle/
call vundle#rc()

" let Vundle manage Vundle
" required! 
Bundle 'gmarik/vundle'

" My Bundles here:
"
" original repos on github
Bundle 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
Bundle 'altercation/vim-colors-solarized'
Bundle 'scrooloose/nerdtree'
Bundle 'vbundles/ctrlp'

colorscheme solarized

Solution

  • UPDATE September 2015:

    The kien/ctrlp.vim repo is out of date, what you really want is this currently maintained fork.

    The correct line in your .vimrc is now:

    Plugin 'ctrlpvim/ctrlp.vim'

    OLD ANSWER:

    To install CtrlP with Vundle, the correct line in your .vimrc is now:

    Plugin 'kien/ctrlp.vim'

    Note that the .vim is necessary.
