I logged on to a machine running Centos 6.6 and ran the following
command.

$ rpm -qa | grep vim
vim-minimal-7.2.411-1.8.el6.x86_64
vim-X11-7.2.411-1.8.el6.x86_64
vim-common-7.2.411-1.8.el6.x86_64
vim-enhanced-7.2.411-1.8.el6.x86_64
vim-clustershell-1.6-1.el6.noarch

According to that, there is no "vim" package. The vim-minimal,
vim-X11 and vim-enhanced packages provide executables but not the
runtime files. You appear to be missing the runtime files, which
are provided by the vim-common package. Try installing vim-common
and see if that fixes the problem.

Gary
