I have created a system wide config file in /etc/vimrc but vim is not sourcing
it. The same config file works like a charm if I put it into ~HOME/.vimrc
$ vim -V
...
could not source "$VIM/vimrc"
...
It seems to be a difference between vi and vim, the former uses directly /etc
while the latter refers to $VIM
$ vi --version
...
system vimrc file: "/etc/virc"
fallback for $VIM: "/etc"
..
$ vim --version
...
system vimrc file: "$VIM/vimrc"
fallback for $VIM: "/etc"
