This version of Vim has no clipboard support compiled-in. To be able to paste
from Vim to something else, you need a Vim version capable of accessing the
clipboard. Try invoking "gvim" at your window manager's Alt-F2 "execute"
prompt, rather than (console) Vim at the bash prompt. If you don't have gvim
at all, either install the "vim-x11" RPM, or (recommended) uninstall those
outdated 6.3 versions completely and compile Vim for yourself (see
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm ).
From gvim, you ought to be able to yank into register + and paste the data
from there into a different application using Ctrl-V or Edit => Paste.
Here is the ":version" output of _my_ gvim. You'll immediately see the
differences.
