1. Download the bz2 file.
2. bunzip
3. tar xvf
You can combine the steps 2 and 3 with only tar xvf (if you're using an older
version of tar, use tar xjvf)
Steps 1 to 3 above will give you the unpatched 7.3.0 source. The current
"stable" Vim is 7.3.107.
4. ./configure
Worths reading './configure --help' first, there are many configurable options.
If you want a featureful vim, ./configure --with-features=huge would be
sufficient (also look for python/perl/netbeans options)
I recommend running configure by having make invoke it (and setting
configure options by means of environment variables) because in some
cases make will decide to run configure again. If your options are not
set in the environment you'll get the default settings for that "second"
run of configure.
5. make
6. make install

Suposing you have all the dependencies, steps 5 and 6 will be straightforward
(step 6 will need root permissions)
