vim has no color after moving uo to slink

[Mark Wagnon <mwagnon@ixpres.com>]

Anyone else experience this? When I was running hamm, my vim displayed
colored syntax highlighting, but now I have no color, and I get this
error message:

   Error detected while processing /etc/vimrc:
   line   55:
   Can't open file /usr/lib/vim/syntax/syntax.vim

vim still has the ability to display color because when I start it, the
tildes are displayed in blue. Where might the syntax.vim or its slink
equivalent be located?

I found vim-rt on the debian site. It mentioned syntax highlighting in
the description. I downloaded it and installed it. The error is gone
(cuz I let it overwrite my /etc/vimrc), but I still get no syntax
highlighting :(

Could I replace my lost syntax.vim file with one from someone else's
system? Or does anyone have another solution to my dilemma?

TIA
