You should have set configure parameters, then run "make" before "make install". About why gvim version is different, what is the answer to the following (at a shell prompt): ls -l `which vim` `which gvim` ? See http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm (my HowTo page about compiling Vim on Linux). For Vim 7.2a, the archives are (as you found) under http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unstable/ etc., and the patches (5 already AFAIK) are under http://pub/vim/unstable/patches/7.2a/ (also by ftp).
