syntastic not functioning: no errors

Question

I've installed Pathogen, git clone'd the syntastic repo, and tried :Helptags in mvim. However, whenever I type :Helptags, I don't get an error but nothing at all happens. Any idea what might be going on?

UPDATE: I've tried again with Vundle (which is working fine with NERDTree and powerline) and am getting the following errors:

Solution

Read :h :helptags, this command (with an argument: :Helptags /path/to/dir) is used to index third party plugin's documentation. It has nothing to do with the Syntastic plugin.

If Pathogen is installed correctly, :h syntastic should open the documentation for Syntastic. Read it carefully, make sure you understand everything, try it and come back to us if you have any question.

Switched to Vundle and it worked. For future reference, try :SyntasticCheck or as @romainl said, :h syntastic. Thanks a bunch! Another helpful post if you're having trouble.
