It is what I use: you'll want to change (as a minimum) the compiled by setting. Both versions mention not only how to compile Vim but also - where to get the patches (Vim 7.2 has seen 315 official patches as of this writing); - where to get the latest runtime files (changes to the runtime files are only rarely mentioned in the patches). 2. To browse the current directory, it is better to use :e ./ where the trailing slash makes it obvious to the netrw plugin that it is a directory. No need to reinstall netrw unless the version that comes with Vim isn't good enough for you. 3.

Thank you very much for your help! The default settings for configure should give you almost all the features of vim, so you shouldn't need to do any more than ./configure make make install unless you want something special like integration with perl, python or cscope, for example. Make sure your vim is running in 'nocompatible' mode. Otherwise, it will behave pretty much like vi. One way to ensure this is to have a file named .vimrc in your home directory. You can execute :set compatible? to check the state of that variable. If that doesn't help, then execute these two commands and post the results here. :verbose :scriptnames That will tell us the features that your vim actually contains and whether it is reading the configuration files properly. As for rpm, I don't use it, but if you read the rpm man page you should find an option for listing available packages. That will give you the name of the vim package, which is something like vim-enhanced. The package named just vi or vim will install the tiny version of vim that has very few features. You may need to install an rpm named something like vim-runtime as well to get all the runtime files, such as the ones that tell vim how to display a directory.
