are you on x86_64?

+> uname -a

for me vim or gvim are both fine

maybe extraction error ? cache (disk) full ?

No, disk isn't full (39%), I tried reinstalling and it didn't help. Also tried without any .vimrc.

Do you have the file in question? (/usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/syntax.vim)

If so, what does `pacman -Qo /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/syntax.vim` return?

/usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/syntax.vim is owned by vim-runtime 7.2.2150-1

"pacman -Qs vim":

should give you:

vim
vim-runtime

OR

gvim
vim-runtime

if you dont have vim-runtime it will not work

blah, dress me up and call me barbie, seems like it was a broken vim-runtime installation. Reinstalling it helped.
