  - If you didn't install vim-enhanced,  I suggest getting the vim

Why?  There would be nothing that we could do to support anything
compiled form source.  I attempt to discourage it as much as possible.

* many (usually hundreds) of bugs from any earlier releases have been fixed if one is using an earlier release * applying patches fixes yet more bugs (currently there are 170 patches to vim 7.1) (admittedly, I didn't specify how to apply patches)
* runtime files have been updated (generally to fix  bugs)
* there are options associated with the configure, such as whether to have ruby, perl, cscope, Sun workshop, etc support compiled in (see configure --help for the list) * if one wants support for vim, there's an active mailing list for it with many knowledgable folks, including vim's author (see http://vim.sf.net/ for details)
