I don't think you need DESTDIR there - I tried your command and it
caused vim to be installed in
/home/<username>/.local/home/<username>/.local, which looks wrong. So,
maybe when you started vim, you actually used a different binary than
you had just compiled, because it was installed in another place.

Everything else looks ok to me.

Are you accessing the system via ssh? Make sure you use ssh -X flag to
enable X11 forwarding. Check that $DISPLAY environment variable is
set.

X11 clipboard is vim's register +, so use "+p and "+y commands to access it.
