[ian at budgie ian]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/vim
vim-enhanced-5.3-7
[ian at budgie ian]$ 

is a package from my RH6 install? I haven't looked but I expect it is an
i386 arch. package.

And

[ian at budgie ian]$ rpm -qi vim-enhanced

Summary     : A version of the VIM editor which includes recent
enhancements.
Description :
VIM (VIsual editor iMproved) is an updated and improved version of the
vi
editor.  Vi was the first real screen-based editor for UNIX, and is
still
very popular.  VIM improves on vi by adding new features: multiple
windows,
multi-level undo, block highlighting and more.  The vim-enhanced package
contains a version of VIM with extra, recently introduced features like
Python and Perl interpreters.

Install the vim-enhanced package if you'd like to use a version of the
VIM
editor which includes recently added enhancements like interpreters for
the
Python and Perl scripting languages.  You'll also need to install the
vim-common package.
