I have installed vim and macvim using macports, and tried copying over my .vim directory from linux. Neither seems to read anything from that directory: my customizations for folding and indenting aren't working, and :scriptnames shows only the system-wide /usr/share plugin directories are being read.
Any idea what's going on and how to fix it?

The easiest way I found was to add the file I needed to the system vim file that MacVim created on installation. This file can be found using :scriptnames command.
I needed to use pathogen and it was not working placing it in my .vim file in the home directory. I placed the pathogen.vim in the system vim/autoload directory and then pathogen worked without errors.
I found the right directory in /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/Resources/vim/autoload

Macvim is not supposed to read anything from /usr/share I suggest you remove both vim and macvim installed via macports and instead install the latest macvim snapshot from the official downloads. – romainl – 2014-03-15T07:28:00.310
By
.vimdo you mean a subdirectory of your home directory,~/.vim/? That should work. Do you have a vimrc file,~/.vimrc? Can you give a specific file that should besourced but is not? – benjifisher – 2014-03-15T15:27:45.067
