So I have given up and now seeking help! Anyway, I have tried to get a colorscheme going for my vim and am failing miserably. I will be using moloakai for now and I keep getting the E185 error. My .vimrc file looks like this:
syntax enable
set background=dark
colorscheme molokai
my molokai vim file is in ~/.vim/colors
I also checked the runtime path and got this:
runtimepath=~/.vim,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vim/vim72,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after,~/.vim/after
