When you read the relevant lines in /e/tc/vimrc you see:
" Switch syntax highlighting on, when the terminal has colors
" Also switch on highlighting the last used search pattern.
if &t_Co > 2 || has("gui_running")
  syntax on
  set hlsearch
endif

Which implies that your termminal has to be configured with colors
before syntax on will work.
