Writing viminfo file "/home/tmplt/.viminfo"

While this doesn't cause any ultimate problems with only Vundle.vim installed, it seems to cause some trouble with NerdTree. The errors does not disappear when running :PluginInstall for the second time.

Vundle does, however, work on my laptop. removing ~/.vim, reinstalling and :PluginInstall-ing works flawlessly. I'm unsure what the problem is caused by.

One user on IRC got a very similar error and figured out it was caused by his shell being fish.

[tmplt]

Can confirm this. A change to zsh fixed it.

More generally, you need to make sure your vim shell variable matches your actual shell.

set shell=/bin/bash

if you use bash for example.
