Vim R plugin installation issue

[bgc]

No worries, thank you for your quick reply. It was working before I made these changes, so clearly it is something I did. I don't think it's vundle, after all I was using pathogen before that and that was fine, so maybe an issue with another plugin perhaps (e.g. powerline or latex-box). Thanks again.

I have followed all the instructions in the following site:

I am trying to install this on an ubuntu chroot running in an android phone. In terminal emulator when I type vim test.R it says
Tmux 1.5 or greater required. But my version is 1.6. Then I manually opened tmux, then vim test.R. But none of the \rf or other commands work.

Then in vim, I typed "ScreenShell R". It opened R console right below in a split screen. Then I typed "ScreenSend" and it sent and executed R code in the console. I borrowed this command from another blog with only a vague idea about them.

Any idea what's going on here?

What is the output of

tmux -V

It should be "tmux 1.6".

ScreenSend is a command to send string to a application running in a Tmux pane started by ScreenShell. The Vim-R-plugin uses it send commands to R.

Thanks a lot for your quick response. I really appreciated that.

It is indeed tmux 1.6. Let me elaborate a bit on the error code when I type "vim test.R" in ubuntu console.

Sorry, since it is in a mobile device, I can not copy and paste the whole error output: I am typing the whole thing, sorry if there is any typo.

Cannot execute shell /system/bin/sh
Error detected while processing /root/.vim/r-plugin/common_global.vim:line 2865

E484: Can't open file /tmp/vYco6Ye/0

Vim-R-plugin requires tmux>=1.5

But if I first open tmux and then type "vim test.R" in the console, the error message does not come. But none of the plugin command works.

Any possible solution?

I am so much banking on you jalvesaq. Please help me out with this.

You may edit ~/.vim/r-plugin/common_global.vim and DELETE the 11 lines of code that test Tmux version:

let s:tmuxversion = system("tmux -V")
let s:tmuxversion = substitute(s:tmuxversion, '.*tmux \([0-9]\.[0-9]\).*', '\1', '')
if strlen(s:tmuxversion) != 3
    let s:tmuxversion = "1.0"
endif
if g:vimrplugin_tmux && s:tmuxversion < "1.5"
    call RWarningMsgInp("Vim-R-plugin requires Tmux >= 1.5")
    let g:rplugin_failed = 1
    finish
endif
unlet s:tmuxversion

Thanks a lot, I will try to do that and let you know.

It spits out an error message very fast and goes to open test.R file after "vim test.R" command. Since it goes away very fast I can just see its the same kind of error message without 'tmux version warning.

In Vim, do the following in Normal mode to see past messages:

:messages

Note: it's better to start tmux first and, then, vim:

tmux
vim test.R

then you do \rf to start R.

Thanks again. I have been doing exactly that. First, tmux, then "vim test.R". Still it does not work. It seems the plugin was not activated. \rf does not work.
