Solving YouCompleteMe requires Vim compiled with Python 2.x support Problem

YCM is one of the best C++ autocomplete plugin for vim. When I tried to use it, I got “YouCompleteMe requires Vim compiled with Python 2.x support” error. In this post, I will show you how to solve this issue.

First of all lets download the latest source code of the vim. For this step I assume you have mercurial. (Download link may change in the future)

Download Vim from https://github.com/vim/vim

After download it, follow below instructions.

$ cd vim
$./configure --enable-pythoninterp --with-python-config-dir=/usr/lib/python2.7/config
$ make
$ sudo make install
