I think you have to specify the path to your config file. Here's some info I
keep around regarding this question:
With the integration of color-ls directly into the fileutils
package, a few things have changed. dircolors no longer sets
up aliases or shell scripts to colorize ls, dir, and vdir.
Here is an excerpt from a .bashrc which sets up aliases after
running dircolors:
# set up color-ls
eval `dircolors /home/syrus/.dir_colors`
alias d='ls -F --color=auto'
alias v='ls -l --color=auto'
alias vdir='ls -l --color=auto'
alias dir='ls -F --color=auto'
Note that color=tty has been changed to color=auto. See the
documentation for other change information.
Luck, Syrus.
