How to reinstall vim? [closed]

Question

I have problems with my vim in Ubuntu 11.10, when I press 'i' or 'v' vim doesn't show anything like 'INSERT MODE' or 'VISUAL MODE', when I try to delete with backspace, vim only move the cursor to the left. I tried reinstalling with this Reinstalling Vim but got the same result, also I don't have ~/.vim directory.

It works fine whith :set nocp, why ?

Answer 1

apt-get update
apt-get install vim

that will give you the version 7.2.330 or so

You can add :set nocp in your ~/.vimrc
