Is filetype detection turned on in your .vimrc?

Some systems turn it on by default in a "system .vimrc" but others do not.

Try putting

filetype plugin indent on

or

filetype plugin on

or

filetype indent on

or

filetype on

into your .vimrc, before the "sytnax on" command.

:help :filetype
:help :filetype-overview
:help filetype-detect
