Your viminfo should include items for the history as mentioned in
my previous email. I think you want

:set viminfo+=:50
:set viminfo+=/50

though from my reading, if 'viminfo' has a non-empty value and
doesn't explicitly have ":0" or "/0" to force no-history-writing,
it should default to the value of 'history'. That leads me to
your suspicion that Vim can't write to your viminfo file, so
check your file permissions for ~/.viminfo to ensure you own it
and can write to it.

Be sure to read up on the options for what gets written into the
viminfo file

:help 'viminfo'

as well as when & where it gets written:

:help viminfo-file

-tim
