I'm glad it helped. x=) @Brandon:

I tried for about 2 hours to figure out how to implement vim-ruby before I came across your site. How did you know what the startup script (.vimrc) needed to have in it? I wasn't able to find any documentation from vim-ruby's site. Anyway, thanks again. I too run on Edgy and will certainly keep an eye on your site for future tips.

Each Rails project has a recursive symlink in that <code>ProjectDirectory/vendor/rails</code> points to itself, and, on Ubuntu, Radrails goes wild trying to find the end of the loop. This pushes CPU utilisation up to 100% and causes repeated memory overflows in the JVM. The answer is to delete the <code>ProjectDirectory/vendor/rails</code> link in each project, and to replace it with an identically named real folder. You then need to take a copy of all of the files in the <code>ProjectDirectory/vendor</code> folder and copy them into the new folder that you've just created. After using that hack, I find Radrails more responsive and generally more pleasant to use on Linux than on Windows.

Ya, I could have used the edgy package for vim-ruby, but just to keep pace with their own development cycle, I install the gem. I really don’t think it matters. Anyone can use either the gem or the deb package.

But I don't understand a thing: why you're using a gem for vim-ruby since there is a "vim-ruby" package in Edgy ? :) Hey there, nice post.

I tried to install Eclipse and just add the plugins when I was still running windows and it didn't work out so well. So I never really bothered again. I may give RadRails another shot when new versions come out, but I'm quite happy with Vim... x=) Ya, I know that RadRails is just Eclipse with plugins.
