Hi,
I have previously posted a message which deals with highlighting of standard library
functions (printf ,scanf) built in data types (int,float) etc... which normally get highlighted
while working on vim editor. I have got the reply from u which indicated that

syntax on should be appended to .vimrc file. I didn't find .vimrc file in /root.
Instead i found a .viminfo file in /root. I copied .vimrc file from other system. When I tried
to execute , it has shown the following errors.... Im posting a part of that code ....

.vimrc file

"Linux-Mandrake configuration.
"Chmouel Boudjnah <chmouel@mandrakesoft.com>

"Syntax highlighting only for enhanced-vi
if has("mouse_gpm") && filereadable("/usr/share/vim/syntax/syntax.vim")
syntax on
endif

"Set a statusbar
set statusline=~




The error messages that i have got by executing this file are

line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `"mouse_gpm"'
line 5: `if has("mouse_gpm") &&filereadable("/usr/share/vim/syntax/syntax.vim")'


Suggest me how to resolve this problem.

Thank you.

hi jit,
if u are using ubuntu
then in " /etc/vim/ " path u'll find vimrc file
in that file u need to uncomment the line.

when u open it'll be as below
"syntax on

just remove the ", i.e
syntax on
