I'm trying to get function names, class names, objects, variables and

I thus far have been unsuccessful. I can get many other constructs
(constants, types, keywords, etc) to be highlighted, but not the
things mentioned above.

You didn't say what o/s you were using. You've apparently already tried
"syntax on", so:
when you do vim --version , does +syntax show up? If you're using
Fedora Core Linux,
for example, and just using the vim it provides, you're probably using
Redhat's minimal vim,
which doesn't support syntax highlighting.
If that's the case, either:
a) compile your own vim
b) use Redhat's "enhanced" vim
