The dir_colors info page reads:
NAME
dir_colors - configuration file for dircolors(1)
DESCRIPTION
The program ls(1) uses the environment variable LS_COLORS to
determine
the colors in which the filenames are to be displayed. This
environ-
ment variable is usually set by a command like
eval `dircolors some_path/dir_colors`
found in a system default shell initialization file, like
/etc/profile
or /etc/csh.cshrc.
But doing so does not set LS_COLORS to the expected string. It sets it to
an emptry string. If I take out the eval the LS_COLORS variable is not set
at all.
Would anyone happen to know why?
Mike
