terminal vim is built into the system mac vim ( from google code ) is a GUI made to behave more like an OS X GUI application. There are some things you can do with mac vim that are not in the standard install.
What are you trying to do exactly, where the installed version from the OS doesn't meet your needs as a terminal application? Others will run vim from the bundle. sudo ln -s /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim /usr/local/bin/ vim ( provided that /usr/local/bin is in your PATH ) If you were to rip out the contents of the application bundle you might be able to get it to work, but it is probably not worth the effort.
