Linux vim latex-suite compiles weirdness

Question

Running linux, when I compile a latex document from vim with the latex-suite package installed, I (without need) are prompted to press ENTER. That is, when I type \ll for compilation, the output from vim to the command line appears on the screen, which reads:

 Press ENTER or type command to continue 

Pressing ENTER brings me back to vim with my compiled document, however I would prefer not to press ENTER here (I don't have the same problem as on a Mac).

My .tex file is as follows

 \documentclass{article} \title{This is the title} \author{The Author} \date{September 2013} \begin{document} \maketitle Hello World! \end{document} 

From within vim, I provide the following command:

 :echo g:Tex_DefaultTargetFormat 

and get

 pdf 

I give the following command:

 :echo g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf 

and get

 pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode $* >/dev/null 2>/dev/null 

At the bash prompt, I can type

 pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode HelloWorld.tex >/dev/null 2>/dev/null 

and pdflatex compiles my document without requiring me to press ENTER. Any help that shouldn't hit ENTER on the command line would be appreciated.

You can reassign \ll or create a new mapping, for example \ls to silently compile:

 map <leader>ls :silent call Tex_RunLaTeX()<cr> 

The key point here is the silent command, which prevents vim from asking you to press Enter. However, you will not see any results.
