How can I get the relative number feature on old Vim versions (7.2 to be exact in my scenario) ?
I cannot install a newer version because other people are also using Vim on the same server.

Relative numbers were officially added to Vim with the 7.3 release.
If you can't update Vim or can't compile your own you will need to install a plugin like DrChip's RltvNmbr. Maybe there are others. Note that it requires the +signs
feature which you may or may not have.
