Vundle for VIM is not working on Ubuntu

Question

I installed Vundle via the instructions given at this blog http://web.archive.org/web/20120731003342/http://www.charlietanksley.net/philtex/sane-vim-plugin-management

but when trying to run :BundleInstall I get a VIM error

E492: Not an editor command: BundleInstall

Here is my tree ~/.vim

/home/max/.vim
└── bundle
    └── vundle
        ├── autoload
        │   ├── vundle
        │   │   ├── config.vim
        │   │   ├── installer.vim
        │   │   └── scripts.vim
        │   └── vundle.vim
        ├── doc
        │   └── vundle.txt
        ├── LICENSE-MIT.txt
        ├── README.md

            │   └── test.erl
            ├── minirc.vim
            └── vimrc

Also when starting up VIM I get a slew of E492s like so

Error detected while processing /home/max/.vimrc:

And here is my .vimrc

Obviously Vundle has not been installed properly. How do I make Vundle work?

Answer 1

Vundle is installed in

~/.vim/bundle/vundle

so this line

set rtp+=~/.vim/vundle.git/

should be

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

---

~/.vim/vundle.git/

is the path of a folder containing everything that makes a Git repository a Git repository. You can't really expect Vim to find usable scripts there.
