In your ~/.vimrc, add this:
---------------------------

" Switch syntax highlighting on, when the terminal has
colors
" Also switch on highlighting the last used search
pattern.
if &t_Co > 2 || has("gui_running")
  syntax on
  set hlsearch
endif

---------------------------
I don't exactly know what the if statement is about -
but this is all that is needed to get syntax
highlighting I think
