Question
Hi All,

I installed coreutils from sunfreeware and point MANPATH in /etc/profile:

MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/man
export MANPATH

If I try:
Quote:
# echo $MANPATH
/usr/dt/man:/usr/man:/usr/openwin/share/man:/usr/local/man

however nothing happens.

ls continues black and white.

What I am doing wrong?

Thanks!!

i) $MANPATH does not have to do something with this.
ii) Also GNU ls does not give colors if the user does not request it. Get to your Linux box. Type "alias" at shell promt. You'll find something like "alias ls='ls --color=auto'". Add that that alias command to your shell-rc-file (~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_aliases, whatever), start a new shell and you're done.

Hi..

It was what returned for alias...

Quote:
# alias
autoload='typeset -fu'
command='command '
functions='typeset -f'
history='fc -l'
integer='typeset -i'
local=typeset
nohup='nohup '
r='fc -e -'
stop='kill -STOP'
suspend='kill -STOP $$'
#
Is it missing something regarding to colors? Smilie

Thank you!

Assuming that you are using bash the suggestion is to add an alias:
Code:
alias ls='/usr/local/bin/ls --color=auto'

Add the line to ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc, so that it will work both with a login shell and a non-login interactive shell.
