I have a .vimrc.
it has 
        " Use Vim settings, rather then Vi settings (much better!).
        " This must be first, because it changes other options as a side
        effect.
        set nocompatible
        
I've already tried invoking via 
        [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/bin/vim src
        [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/bin/gvim src
