Hello all I've just worked on trying to get this to work a few hours with no luck, so I thought I'd consult the community.

In short, my syntax highlighting doesn't work. Not in vim or vim -g/gvim. I've tried the easy things like :snytax enable or :syntax on and manually loading a colorscheme but to no effect.

What does

vim --version

say? If it happens to say, for example, ... -syntax ... (instead of +syntax), then the vim executable has been compiled so as to not support syntax highlighting. You'll need to Use The Source! or at least, perhaps something like vim-enhanced.
