How to initialize this program? about grayout.vim

[mphe]

Glad I could help 👍
I updated the docs to better explain that setting.

[mphe]

Please set let g:grayout_debug_logfile = 1 and attach the grayout.log file.

My guess is that you don't have clang installed.

grayout.log
I guess you are right as line 9 and line 22 both says it can't find libclang.so.
I installed clang through sudo apt install clang

[mphe]

Alright, so clang is installed, but it can't be found automatically.
Try to find out where clang was installed and set g:grayout_libclang_path respectively.

After more searching the web, I installed libclang-devand libclang1 using apt, files' names start with libclang.so are:

• /usr/lib/llvm-10/lib/libclang.so
• /usr/lib/llvm-10/lib/libclang.so.1
• ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/third_party/clang/lib/libclang.so
• ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/third_party/clang/lib/libclang.so.13
• ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/third_party/clang/lib/libclang.so.13.0.0
• /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libclang-10.so

However, none of these work.

[mphe]

So you have tried let g:grayout_libclang_path = '/usr/lib/llvm-10/lib/', etc. for all those paths and they all yield the same error?

Note that g:grayout_libclang_path takes the searchpath, not the full path to libclang.so.

Oh! I thought that settings is used to point to the file!
Now it works well!
Thanks!

For people who needs it, here's how I had it done at that time in Ubuntu 20.04:

1. Install clang

   sudo apt install libclang1

2. move to the installation folder
   You need to change to a appropriate version of yours. For example:

   cd /usr/lib/llvm-14/lib

3. Alias the library

   sudo ln -s libclang.so.1 libclang.so
