Package: vim
Version: 6.3.11

Kernel: 2.6.6
Libraries: libc-2.3.2.so

Problem:
Even if the command 

syntax on 

is already present in the .vimrc file, the syntax highlighting doesn't work.
Moreover, if I try to give the command 

:syn on 

inside vim, it prints the following error message:

Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vim63/syntax/syntax.vim: line   
42:
E216: No such group or event: filetypedetect BufRead
Hit ENTER or type command to continue
