It shows blank so not set, and I've posted the output of
: echo $MYVIMRC
/home/reader/.vimrc
So it is appartently being sourced.
I'm starting to think its something inside of .vimrc. And that
appears to be the case. Maybe something new in versoin 7 has a
problem with my old sloppy vimrc.
I've created this .vimrc:
set nocompatible " Use Vim defaults (much better!)
set bs=2 " allow backspacing over everything in insert mode
set backup " keep a backup file
set viminfo='20,\"100 " read/write a .viminfo file, don't store more
set history=50 " keep 50 lines of command line history
set ruler " show the cursor position all the time
And sure enough it starts as expected with that stuff loaded. I see
my curor position and line numbers. So looks like I just need to find
what section is causing the problem and either change or remove it.

OK:
Your patch won't fly as a patch maybe something got wrapped or
whatever.
patch main.c main.c.patch
patching file main.c
patch: **** malformed patch at line 8: getchar();
But after applying it by hand:
(in src/)
./vim
before sourcing .vimrc($HOME/.vimrc). Press Enter.
After pressing enter vim starts..
What were we looking for here?
Aha. It *is* trying to load .vimrc.
Does ~/.vimrc appear in the output of :scriptnames command ?
vim
:scriptnames
