I've noticed VIM on my Mac doesn't have the line/column numbers in the bottom-right corner of the window whereas VIM on Ubuntu does. Is there a profile setting I can use to get my Mac to show these numbers?

Try the command ":set ruler

As Heptite described, the command :set ruler
results in the line/column information I was looking for. If you want to make this behavior permanent, edit your ~/.vimrc
file to include the following line:
set ruler

2at first I didn't have a
~/.vimrc
, I only had a~/.viminfo
and I tried to edit that but it silently failed saving my changes. So I had to create a new file at~/.vimrc
and it's working great!– PatrickApr 27, 2012 at 18:14
You want to configure your statusline in .vimrc, with %l and %c denoting lines and columns, respectively.
