E185: Cannot find color scheme solarized
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 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!
