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.
