make
make install

Thanks for this. I had installed lua seperately (from source) as lua and lua-devel aren't in default repos on CentOS 5.8.

someone maybe need this:
yum install ncurses-devel

I had a few errors while running make under CentOS 6.4....

vim.h:2153:21: error: EXTERN.h: No such file or directory
vim.h:2154:19: error: perl.h: No such file or directory
vim.h:2155:19: error: XSUB.h: No such file or directory

Had previously had vim installed via yum and it had installed the packaged: perl-ExtUtils-Embed, this did not get removed when i uninstalled vim via yum.

But after removing this packaged vim compiled like a dream...

Cheers

Thank you!!

After having some issues, I managed to install vim 7.4 by following instructions at
