I recompiled the GNU ls (fileutils-3.12) with the Linux color-ls patch without any problem, and installed it in /usr/local. This is the corresponding color-ls-3.12.0.2.patch.lsm file: Begin3 Title: color-ls-patch Version: 3.12.0.2 Entered-date: 19Dec94 Description: Patch against GNU fileutils 3.9: colorizes ls entries, allow the full ISO-8859 character set in filenames and unifies ls, dir and vdir to one binary. This version includes a "dircolors" program to parse a Slackware-style /etc/DIR_COLORS file, without the overhead of parsing that file on each invocation, and supports colorization by filename extension. Keywords: ls color dircolors fileutils Author: hpa@nwu.edu (Peter Anvin), dennisf@denix.elk.miles.com (Dennis Flaherty) Maintained-by: hpa@nwu.edu (Peter Anvin) Primary-site: eecs.nwu.edu /pub/linux/color-ls 20884 color-ls-3.12.0.1.patch.gz 99956 color-ls-3.12.0.2.bin.tar.gz Alternate-site: sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/utils/file Original-site: prep.ai.mit.edu /pub/gnu 333928 fileutils-3.12.tar.gz Platform: Copying-policy: GPL End Under X, I use the Xterm3d-X11R6-ansi-sbright (I don't remember the exact name, but the scrollbar is on the right with a 3d look with Xaw3d) instead of color-xterm. It can be found in the sunsite Linux archive. Compiles without any problem. Claude BUISSON FRAMATOME
