customizing vim in RHEL 5.9

Hi,
I am working on RHEL 5.9 systems. The default installed vim editor is not working fully. My problems:

No syntax highlighting.
No cursor position display
No column and row numbers.
No visual selection (visual block, ctrl+v)
cursor is not appearing at last saved position.
Unable to open multiple files within vim (split function)

How to customize vimrc in RHEL 5.9? (I have seen viminfo in ubuntu 13.10)

Over all my vi editor in RHEL 5.9 is not fully functional.

Please help me.

Thank you.
