Hello all I've just worked on trying to get this to work a few hours

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.

I never thought of that :)
$ vim --version | grep syntax
-sniff +statusline -sun_workshop +syntax +tag_binary +tag_old_static
Unfortunately for me however that doesn't seem to be the problem :(
Any other ideas?
If all else fails I could as you say probably install from source. I
think that's how I had it working before anyhow... But in that case
I'll probably just restage the whole computer, this is an old clunker
work computer anyhow, that probably had it's OS installed about 10 years
ago, (and has many no longer used user accounts and uneeded files to boot).
Thank You,
