Comments:
1) That's a really old version of FreeBSD you're using. That by itself may
   cause you problems.

2) Where did this version of vim come from, and how did you install it?
   The fact that it's looking for libc.so.6 makes me think it might be a
   version compiled for Linux instead of FreeBSD (my version of vim links
   to libc.so.4, for example) and if that is true, you need to have your
   system set up for Linux compatability.  See Chapter 22 in the FreeBSD
   handbook, 'Linux Binary Compatibility' for details.
