I just checked on an uncustomized instance of 16.04, and indeed /usr/local/bin was in the path and ahead of /usr/bin. If the path is not the problem, conceivably David used a terminal session that was started before the make install was run, and the shell had hashed the location of gvim, so didn't search the path to find the new gvim. In bash "hash -r" fixes this.
