Are you sure, this is the same version which has the problem. set ruler
should work just find from this version. Could it be, there is another
vim in your path, may be a tiny vim or you called it vi? Try :version
from within the vim, that has the problem and look for +cmdline_info
(enabled ruler feature) or -cmdline_info (disbaled ruler feature)

Hi Christian,

You're right. There are /bin/vi and /usr/bin/vim. vim is the one with set ruler that works fine, while vi doesn't show that. Thank you for pointing that out.
