Hi

How to enable syntax highlighting in vim? I tried to put "syntax on" on
/etc/vimrc and on my "~/.vimrc" and does not work. I have the
following
vim packages installed:
[root@newt set_new_machine]# yum list installed vim*
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Installed Packages
vim-common.i386 2:7.1.291-1.fc9
installed
vim-enhanced.i386 2:7.1.291-1.fc9
installed
vim-minimal.i386 2:7.1.291-1.fc9
installed

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks

Marcelo
I have this in my ~/.vimrc

:syn on (note the semicolon)
What semicolon? I had to say that. Do you mean colon?

and it should work, also if you want the gui version of vim, do

$ yum install gvim
