Issues when compiling TeX files with Vim and LaTeX-suite

Question

I'm having problems compiling a TeX file with LaTeX-suite on Ubuntu. In my .vimrc, I have the following lines :

 filetype plugin on
 set grepprg=grep\ -nH\ $*
 filetype indent on
 let g:tex_flavor='latex'

When I go to the menu and tell it to compile, if I put .dvi, a .dvi file is generated but I ask for a .pdf, nothing happens.

Can anyone give me some pointers on this?

Answer 1

+1 to what jofel said. Just use

:TTarget pdf

then type \ll and that should compile your .tex file with pdflatex instead of latex.
