Vim-newbie here... I've been learning vim at work using a Mac.
I added my .vimrc to my github repo and expected Vundle to download everything and have vim working the same on my home Mint 13 laptop.
I've linked my ~/.vim/.vimrc to ~/.vimrc. I followed these instructions for building vim 7.4 and having a working vim.
I know that some parts of the .vimrc file are read, b/c my remapped esc sequence is working.
Nothing else appears to work, not even line numbers.
vim --version
vim --version

It would appear, that once again I've been bitten by XFCE.
This link gave me the hint I needed, setting my terminal colos with:
set t_Co=256
Now more features are working as I expected, except that the color scheme jellybeans is no longer so great.
Rainbowparens is not working.
EDIT: Using more colors allows rainbow parens to work...
set t_Co=512
