 are you sure you have made a :
 
 eval `dircolors ./.dircolors`
 
 with backquote ?

[expert] Getting color output using ls --color

1999-08-05 Thread John Dennison 


Ok, I have Mandrake 5.3 installed from the CD-Roms. I can't seem to get
the ls --color option working COMPLETELY. Most of it works. I get the
green executables, the blue directories, and the aqua links, but none of
the other stuff works.

The things that seem to not be working are the things listed at the
bottom of the DIR_COLORS file, where you can specify file extensions and
them colored to your liking. Is there a known problem with this in
Mandrake 5.3?

At work we are running RH Linux with kernel version 2.0.35 and it works
fine when I'm logged in to those machines. I don't know what to do, I
don't understand what the problem is.

Any help is appreciated.
