Look near the middle of the output of :version, where I have the following:

system vimrc file: "$VIM/vimrc"
user vimrc file: "$HOME/.vimrc"
user exrc file: "$HOME/.exrc"
system gvimrc file: "$VIM/gvimrc"
user gvimrc file: "$HOME/.gvimrc"
system menu file: "$VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim"
fall-back for $VIM: "/usr/local/share/vim"

what do you see? If you got your Vim from a Linux distribution (rather
than by compiling it yourself, as I do) you might have different values
for some of the above.

Also, as Ben said, looking at the output of :scriptnames could be
enlightening. That command tells you which scripts Vim has sourced, and
list them in the order in which they were first encountered in this
session. This "/etc/vim/ftdetect/asciidoc_filetype.vim" may have been
sourced from one of the scripts listed before it, or from an autocommand
(you can list them all with the :au command).


Best regards,
Tony.
