This worked http://askubuntu.com/questions/445686/vim-cannot-find-syntax-vim fine on my laptop, but my tower computer is having some issues. Any time I run Vim, I recieve the message: Error detected while processing /home/XXXXXX/.vim/vimrc: line 55: E484: Can't open file /usr/share/vim/vim74/syntax/syntax.vim Not surprisingly, Vim then fails to highlight syntax, and throws a bunch of other errors when editing text.

I'm leaving the question open for now, in case I run in
