On Ubuntu 12.04, I took to the following steps to install Vim-R-plugin:

  1. First I had to install timux: sudo apt-get installl tmux
  2. Having already installed vim-pathogen, I used git to clone to install vim-r-plugin and vim-screen plugin, which is also required: cd ~/.vim/bundle
    git clone git://github.com/vim-scripts/Vim-R-plugin git clone git://github.com/vim-scripts/Screen-vim---gnu-screentmux
  3. Then I changed my localleader to “,”, by adding: let maplocalleader = ",", to my .vimrc file.
  4. Finally I added the following lines to my .Rprofile:
    if(interactive()){ library(colorout) library(setwidth) library(vimcom) }

That it, everything works perfectly.
