Make YouCompeleteMe work with vim

YouCompeleteMe is very powerful vim plugin for compeletion.

Unfortunately,the default vim you installed probably don't support YouCompeleteMe. After adding config entries in .vimrc for YCM,you may get the warning below when open vim:

youcompleteme unavailable: requires vim compiled with python (2.6+ or 3.3+) support

You need to build vim with python support. Follow this doc: Building Vim from source I'm using openSUSE,but this doc doesn't list zypper command to install prerequisites.

• install packages

zypper install libncurses5 libgnome-devel libgnomeui-devel libgtk-2_0-0 libatk-1_0-0 \  libbonoboui-devel libcairo2 libX11-devel libXpm-devel libXt-devel python \  
python-devel python3 python3-devel ruby-devel perl perl-devel lua51 lua51-devel git

• clone vim

git clone https://github.com/vim/vim.git
