Now, When I put the following line in my vimrc, I get error.

YouCompleteMe unavailable: requires Vim compiled with Python (2.7.1+ or 3.4+) support.

I compiled with python,

The line of vimrc:

Bundle 'YouCompleteMe'

Where's my problem? My vimrc is :

set nocompatible              " be iMproved, required
filetype off                  " required

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

    you need a python 2 or 3 library that Vim will load when accessing python api commands. Check the output of python3 import sys; print(sys.version) or python import sys; print sys.version (note, most likely you won't be able to run both commands in the same session). Also you might check :set pyhondll? pythonthreedll? pythonhome? after running the previous command Commented Sep 20, 2018 at 12:56

    You didn't compile with python support. You compiled with dynamic python support. You still need to install the shared python library for your system (e.g. libpython3).

    SOLVED: I removed config dir from ./configure and added --with-python-command=/usr/bin/python Commented Sep 20, 2018 at 14:30

  • @PersianGulf please note, that you can't use simutaniously in a single process both Python libraries, reasons of which are well described in :help python page.

When you want to run ./configure, You have 3 options for python:

--enable-pythoninterp=yes
--with-python-command=/usr/bin/python
--with-python-config-dir=

last parameter is deprecated, You have to don't use --with-python-config-dir then recompile and reinstall vim, After reinstall, You can test via :echo has("python"), if it return 1, it means true. Note: You have the following options for python 3:

--enable-python3interp=yes
--with-python3-command=/usr/bin/python3
--with-python3-config-dir=
