Be sure you type
colorls -G
or do what I do in .cshrc:
alias ls /usr/local/bin/colorls -GF
but that works only if you're a csh/zsh/tcsh user. Remember color
listings are available only on terminals that display color, like
pcvt, syscons, and color xterms.

This might actually is a problem with the package installation ... it
really should tell you the alias trick or remind you what options you
need to use.
