centos 7 box  my vimrc post is below, I have a option that is supposed to allow me to press ctrl+N to trigger line numbering the trouble is it doesn't appear to be working.

Any ideas gods of linux?

    Try running 
    $ source .vimrc 
    and see where the syntax error is.
    Another approach would be to start with nothing but an empty file and only the line 
    set number
    to see if numbering works. Then add line-by-line until it breaks.
