Subject: vim-ruby installation

I've read though a bunch of the vim-ruby posts in this group, and
others, and still can't get my vim-ruby installation functioning
properly.  Here is what I've done:

1)   Installed the latest vim-ruby from RubyForge
Did an "ruby gem vim-ruby", ran the "vim-ruby-install.rb".
Now, I have the necessary ruby'esque files in my VIM installation
directory... ie:

/usr/share/vim/vim63/syntax
/usr/share/vim/vim63/ftplugin
/usr/share/vim/vim63/ftdetect
/usr/share/vim/vim63/compiler
/usr/share/vim/vim63/indent

I also confirmed that /usr/share/vim/vim63/filetype.vim has the proper
line that identifies ruby files by the given extensions (*.rb, *.gem,
*.ruby)


2)  I then created a .vimrc file in my home directory, and added the
following, as per the instructions on the vim-ruby page:

set nocompatible
syntax on
filetype on
filetype indent on
filetype plugin on


3)  Now, it doesn't work.
When I vim a ruby file, it does have the proper colors, but when I hit
"Tab", it inserts an actual Tab instead of 2 spaces, and things like
autocompleting "IF's" doesn't work by doing the Shift+Enter
combination.
So, the colors are correct... but nothing else !

Any help would be greatly appreciated !
