MacOS – How to get vim to work at 256 colors in iTerm

coloritermmacosterminal

I just got a new iMac, and installed iTerm (0.10).
On my last laptop 256 color mode worked fine, but I'm having trouble getting this to work on my new Mac.

I copied over all the settings, set $TERM to xterm-256color, but no dice.

I changed my .vimrc to the absolute minimum to try this out:

set t_Co=256
syntax on

Tried multiple colorschemes, too.

OK, so...

I just started vim again, and colors where there. Since then I did make a changehowever, I installed XCode. This is the only thing I did change, so there must be something in there that fixes this.

Thanks for the effort!
