     Description:         Vim, an improved vi-style text editor

So: to get the latest well-tested version of vim in gentoo, just run
"emerge vim" as root, which will get you vim-7.3.266. This will build
it with your configured settings/optimisations.

If you want to build it manually, you're on your own -- we can
probably help you if you supply more info, but unless you have a good
reason not to use portage/emerge, then you're not using your time
effectively.

Note: eix isn't installed by default, and it's super-useful. Run
"emerge eix ; eix-update" to get the output above.
