All of you can solve your problems by updating Vim, but it's quite interesting that version 7.4.52 doesn't have a suitable implementation of globpath() to support the highest level of functionality. I'm wondering if some patches from the 7.3 version didn't get included in your build.

Please open Vim and run :h globpath(). Report back here with the signature of the globpath() function that your version of Vim supports. In version 8.0 of Vim, for example, I would answer with:

globpath({path}, {expr} [, {nosuf} [, {list} [, {alllinks}]]])

If you are at version 7.4 or higher, you should have at least the first four arguments. Again, this could be a problem with your build.

NOTE: Please do this before updating Vim. This will allow us to solve this problem for other users as well.

UPDATE: After more research, I've identified the problem, and it comes from an inaccurate version check in the NERDTree source code. A fix is in progress.

[lifecrisis]

A fix is in production, so you should be able to simply update the NERDTree and have everything working. If you have further problems with a similar error message, we will reopen the issue.

Please report back if the fix was a success or a failure.
