"call pathogen#infect()"

into my vimrc

I got "E117: Unknown function: pathogen#infect" my vimrc

runtime autoload/pathogen.vim
call pathogen#infect()
call pathogen#helptags()
set hlsearch
set incsearch
set ignorecase
set autoindent
set smartindent

set number
set ruler
set showmatch

So frustrated with configuring vim

If pathogen.vim is in ~/.vim/autoload, trying adding "call pathogen#infect()" and "call pathogen#helptags()" to ~/.vimrc instead of /usr/share/vim/vimrc. It appears that you are trying to call functions defined in pathogen.vim from the system vimrc file before it can be loaded from your personal vim directory.

Hi! While following your advice above does remove the error for me, my plugins still don't work. I don't have jade highlighting for instance and I can use the surrounds plugin. – Costa Michailidis Feb 04 '13 at 19:43
