I have Solarized installed via pathogen and it's been working fine in both terminal and MacVim on my Mac. Today, I tried setting up an Ubuntu box on Linode. I just cloned my dotfiles and symlinked to my .vim
and .vimrc
folders (this is the same setup as I use on my local machine.
Whenever I try to run vim on the Ubuntu box I get an error
Error detected while processing /root/.vimrc:
line 43:
E185: Cannot find color scheme solarized
Press ENTER or type command to continue
I can tell my .vimrc
is being loaded because all other setting like line numbers are working.
The related lines in .vimrc
are the following:
" settings needed for solarized colorscheme
syntax enable
set background=dark
let g:solarized_termcolors=256
colorscheme solarized
This is the setup of my .vim/bundle
directory (incase you suspect I don't actually have solzrized in there!):
~ ls .vim/bundle
ack coffeescript liquid snipmate vim-colors-solarized vim-jst zencoding
closetag html5.vim nerdtree surround vim-javascript vim-rails
One other thing, running echo &t_Co
in vim on the ubunto box gets me 256
.
Any ideas?
I know that it is kind of obvious, but did you check the contents of ~/.vim/bundle/vim-colors-solarized
? Just in case you are running in the same issue described in Vim: Pathogen not loading
I was running into this problem just now, too. I had my call pathogen#infect()
line in my .vimrc just fine, but was getting the
E185: Cannot find color scheme solarized
error, like you. I moved my call pathogen#infect()
up to the top of my .vimrc and all is swell now. Try that if you're still having problems!
:colo[rscheme] {name} Load color scheme {name}. This searches 'runtimepath'
for the file "colors/{name}.vim. The first one that
is found is loaded.
You should put solarized.vim
in ~/.vim/colors/
.
This is what I did;
cp ~/.vim/bundle/vim-colors-solarized/colors/solarized.vim ~/.vim/colors/
One step you might be missing is to add
call pathogen#infect()
to your .vimrc file.

I just ran into this problem myself on a new CentOS box where 'vi' was mapped to a version of VIM without syntax support (ie. -syntax
) and was giving the E185: Cannot find color scheme solarized
error, while 'vim' mapped to a version with syntax support and worked fine with solarized.
Aliasing 'vi' to 'vim' resolved the issue.
For reference:
To check if the version of vim that you are running has support for syntax highlighting, run :version
from within vim. -syntax
means no support, +syntax
means it has support.
To create the alias, append alias vi='vim'
to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile
To re-source, type source ~/.bashrc
or source ~/.bash_profile
, whichever is appropriate for your setup.
I was getting this problem and I fixed it by issuing
cd ~/.yadr
git pull
rake update
I fix it ;)
