Broken Vim 7.2

[Luluc]

I installed Vim from some repository, maybe puppy-lucid, maybe ubuntu. I am not sure. It didn't work. I got several error messages. So many I didn't even consider fixing it.

So I came here and found this.

It installs, and this time I get only one error, but enough to flummox me:

sh-3.00# vim
Error detected while processing /root/.vimrc:
line 21:
E484: Can't open file /root/src/pet-vim72/share/vim/syntax/syntax.vim
Press ENTER or type command to continue

Do you folks know how to fix this?
