Thanks for the prompt reply -
I have placed set verbose=1
in my .gvimrc
Now when I start gvim, I got a whole lot of error messages of the
sort like
'not found in 'runtimepath': "bitmaps/Open.png"'
I think that is a holdover from macvim - but I don't why gvim is
attempting to load those images or what to do about it.

Using :debug from command I can see the following

"repeat.txt" [readonly] 680L, 27209C
Reading viminfo file "/home/tim/.viminfo" marks
not found in 'runtimepath': "ftplugin/text.vim ftplugin/text_*.vim
ftplugin/text
/*.vim"
not found in 'runtimepath': "indent/text.vim"
not found in 'runtimepath': "syntax/text.vim syntax/text/*.vim"
not found in 'runtimepath': "indent/help.vim"
not found in 'runtimepath': "indent/help.vim"
"
I see my runtimepath as

/home/tim/.vim,
/var/lib/vim/addons,
/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,
/usr/share/vim/vim71,
/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after,
/var/lib/vim/addons/after,
/home/tim/.vim/after

The fourth path is messed up - there is no /usr/share/vim/vim71
should be /usr/share/vim/vim73 (I presume).

So, how to fix runtimepath?

thanks again
