How do I get pacman-color to work?
I used ABS to install it with "makepkg" and nothing happens. I get the regular color schemes under regular user, which is whenever I hit "ls" it will show all directories as blue, but as root it's a normal color. Pacman-color is supposed to make pacman commands more colorful, right? Did I install it the wrong way? For the record, I used tar -xvf and it worked fine and I also used makepkg (In which this is the first time I've used it) and it seemed to compile it fine as well, but after I did it, nothing really changed. Is there another step? Is there a package that will make it look like Sabayon's colorful terminal, or Gentoos? Is pacman-color the only package out there for changing the color of the terminal fonts?

After creating the package with ( as a user )
Code:
makepkg -s with Code:
pacman -U /path/to/pkg-name |
Quote:
Code:
[theif519@theif519 pacman-color]$ makepkg -s |
The package did not build successfully.
Quote:
Code:
alias ls='ls --color=auto' EDIT: This is what it looks like when a package builds successfully: Code:
==> Tidying install... |

It built for me with no problems. Code:

I installed pacman-color from the AUR using yaourt. After that add; "alias pacman='pacman-color'" to your .bashrc and if you want root to use it as well add it to root's .bashrc. Root had no .bashrc so I just copied the one from my home directory. Hope this helps.

Go ahead and post your /etc/makepkg.conf. |

Not a problem there.
Have you built any packages from AUR? The output of Code:
pacman -Qm |
