The files syntax.vim, synload.vim and syncolor.vim are in
$VIMRUNTIME/syntax/ and Vim should find them with no particular action
of yours, if it is correctly installed. Your Vim executable must be
compiled with +syntax in order to display syntax highlighting.
On Windows, installing Steve Hall's "Vim without Cream" by running the
latest gvim-*.exe self-installer found at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/ installs not only the
vim.exe and gvim.exe binaries but also the runtime files which go with them.
On Windows, I think that the default Vim 7.3 $VIMRUNTIME is "C:\Program
Files\vim\vim73" but I'm not 100% sure. Executables are installed into
$VIMRUNTIME itself, you may want to add that folder near the start of
your $PATH.
On Unix, after "make" compiles Vim, "make install" installs it. Any
settings defined via environment variables must be common to both (and
to "make config" and "make reconfig" if you use them); see
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm
On Unix, $VIMRUNTIME is by default (for Vim 7.3) /usr/local/vim/vim73/
but that can be modified at compile-time (Vim packages compiled by Linux
distributions usually use /usr/share/ etc. instead of /usr/local/share/
etc.). Executables are installed into $VIMRUNTIME/../../bin/, which is
in the standard $PATH.
See
:help $VIMRUNTIME
:help 'runtimepath'
If you install a precompiled Vim from your Linux distribution, at least
two packages are usually necessary: on openSUSE Linux which I'm using,
the Vim packages are as follows:
vim-data
runtime files, always needed
vim-base
basic files, always needed, and a "tiny" executable
vim
a "normal" executable
vim-enhanced
an executable with Perl, Python, etc. interfaces but no GUI
gvim
a full-featured executable usable as GUI or in a terminal
vim-base-debuginfo
vim-debuginfo
vim-enhanced-debuginfo
gvim-debuginfo
debug symbols, e.g. to debug crashes; from the "debug" repo
You may install all of them if you want. IIRC, on RedHat or Fedora (at
least when I used them), the package names were
vim-common
vim-minimal
vim-enhanced
vim-x11
and the first of these had to be installed together with one or more of
the other three.
Best regards,
Tony.
