Can't get BundleInstall working for Vundle

Question

I'm trying to get vundle working. Here's the error I get when I run :BundleInstall E117: Unknown function: vundle#installer#new

Here is my .vim:

.
├── bundle
│   └── vundle
│       ├── autoload
│       │   ├── vundle
│       │   │   ├── config.vim
│       │   │   ├── installer.vim
│       │   │   └── scripts.vim
│       │   └── vundle.vim

│           ├── minirc.vim
│           └── vimrc
└── colors
    └── xoria256.vim

Here is my .vimrc:

set nocompatible
filetype off

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

Bundle 'gmarik/vundle'

Answer 1

In my case the problem was when i had non latin characters in rtp path. Moving vimfiles directory to some path with latin chars only solved it for me.

Answer 2

I resolved this problem by move 'runtime! debian.vim' before vundle code.

Answer 3

For the record, I got the exact same error (and therefore unability to use Vundle) without using or having used pathogen:

E117: Fonction inconnue : vundle#installer#list

In my case, the following option is what caused Vundle to not function:

~/.vimrc

" Syntaxe pour Perl
    autocmd FileType python set omnifunc=pythoncomplete#Complete
    set runtimepath=~/.vim,/vimfiles

(for the record that was the very last option in my .vimrc :-o )

Answer 4

set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/vundle/

vundle installed py pathogen? Perfectly... but pathogen don't want work! Just install only one package manager. I read your previous question and i think you need to clean all vim directories e.g. ~/.vim, /usr/share/vim etc. and reinstall vim. After that install only pathogen or vundle by reading plugin installation instructions. And finally install you favorite plugins by the pathogen (git clone) or vundle.
