Unknown function: vundle#begin

I had old vundle installed. Instead of using git pull to update vundle, I removed old vundle from ~/.vim and installed it following Quick Start section in the Github page of vundle.

Maybe I broke something when I installed new vundle. I get this:

jack@Jack-PC ~ $ vim .vimrc
Error detected while processing /home/jack/.vimrc:
line    6:
E117: Unknown function: vundle#begin
line   15:
E117: Unknown function: vundle#end
Press ENTER or type command to continue

I followed the instructions on the Github page exactly.

" .vimrc
set nocompatible
filetype off 

" Vundle 
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
call vundle#begin()
"
"" Vundle Plugins List
"Plugin 'gmarik/Vundle.vim'
"Plugin 'php.vim'
"Plugin 'neocomplcache'
"Plugin 'rails.vim'
"Plugin 'bling/vim-airline'
"
call vundle#end()
filetype plugin indent on

I think the best answer is:

set rtp+=$HOME/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim " in OS X

of course, you can find out: echo $HOME, is it your home directory or not.

Your .vimrc seems fine. Looks like you have not installed the vundle plugin properly. Run this command on your console.

git clone https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

You should have a directory structure like (I simplified it):

~/.vim
├── bundle/
│   └── Vundle.vim  <------------------ Vundle
├── colors/
│   └── Tomorrow.vim
└── plugin/
    └── acp.vim

I met this issue again. After checked, the reason why is that there is more than one bundle environment in computer, you can :echo &rtp, and see other environment, and remove other bundle directory.

maybe the rtp location is wrong,you can type 

:echo &rtp

in Vim to see whether the location of ~ stand for is correct.

you can replace

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

to 

set rtp+=/home/[YourUserName]/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim   //do not use ~
