Which version are you using? Pasting the first few lines of the stdout
output of "vim --version" (without the quotes, at a shell prompt)
ought to be enough. For me it says the following:

VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Oct 13 2015 21:11:46)
Included patches: 1-898
Compiled by antoine.mechelynck@skynet.be
Huge version with GTK2-GNOME GUI. Features included (+) or not (-):

The rest (and there is a lot of it) is less interesting to solve your problem.

Best regards,
Tony.
