When you compile Vim yourself on Unix-like systems, it will normally
install under /usr/local/:

executable in /usr/local/bin/
runtime files (for Vim 7.3) in /usr/local/share/vim/vim73/
system vimrc (not always present) is looked for at /usr/local/vim/vimrc
etc.

When you get a Vim package from a Linux distro, the paths are different:

executable in /usr/bin/
runtime files (for Vim 7.3) in /usr/share/vim/vim/73/
system vimrc (not always present) is looked for at (e.g.) /etc/vimrc
etc.

This avoids conflicts if you have both; and, since /usr/local/bin comes
before /usr/bin in the $PATH, invoking vim without a path will get you
the one you compiled yourself.
