You can compile vim as an unprivileged user and install it in
your home directory. Tony Mechelynck has a nice tutorial on
compiling Vim in general:
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm
You'll want to modify that a bit to change the "prefix" for the
installation to be within your home directory. Vim's
documentation has more explanation:
http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/usr_90.html
See the section on "SELECTING FEATURES" in the above link. The
``--prefix`` option allows you to target your home directory
instead of /usr/local as the expected installation location.
If you get stuck, I'm sure the list will be able to help you get
past any compilation issues.
