[solved] YouCompleteMe problems on arch

I am trying to set up vim the way I have it on ubuntu, But I cant seem to get YCM installed properly.

running python2 install.py seemed to work correctly but when I actually open vim, I get a spew of errors and YCM is not availible.

This is what vim outputs every time it opens:

Things I have tried:

ensuring that vim has access to python2.7 with :python import sys; print(sys.version)
re-running git submodules update --init --recursive
manually setting the python executable with set g:ycm_path_to_python_interpreter

just in case anyone wants to see it, this is my .vimrc

Re: [solved] YouCompleteMe problems on arch

Since you are using Vundle, don't run the git submodule command.

I'll recommend that you start afresh and follow this guide: https://github.com/Valloric/YouComplete … tion-guide

Re: [solved] YouCompleteMe problems on arch

Did you install YCM with for C-language semantic support? In that case, what clang did you build with? I can't get it to work... I get

could not read symbols: File in wrong format

In the last phase of  the 'Building CXX object' part

Re: [solved] YouCompleteMe problems on arch

The reason it's broken right now is that we're still on old llvm 3.7 but YCM needs llvm 3.8.

@x33a

Ok, we can consider my issue closed

@Svenstaro

Yes, I noticed that. I am pretty new to arch linux but so far, I was always able to get the software I needed running.
