Solved dircolors missing in sys 12.0


according to that dircolors is in the system but I cannot get it in ports, or pkg search dircolors nowhere to be found. what???? should I just give up or is there a fix on that to get it?
 
ahh it's bundled that explains it....
but it is still not working ....
Code:
====> Compressing man pages (compress-man)
===>  Installing for coreutils-8.31
===>  Checking if coreutils is already installed
===>   Registering installation for coreutils-8.31
Installing coreutils-8.31...

===>>> Installation of sysutils/coreutils (coreutils-8.31) complete

userx@FreeBSD64.net:/usr/ports/sysutils/coreutils
$ dircolors -p ~/.dircolors
bash: dircolors: command not found
something is amist that I am not aware of.
 
That's correct. But now the command will be found (your shell's cache was stale, hash -r updates this).
 
new term and
Code:
$ hash -r
userx@FreeBSD64.net:~
$ dircolors
bash: dircolors: command not found
in xterm, xfce4-terminal, Eterm all the same.
 
Odd. What does pkg info -l coreutils show?

Oh, wait:
Code:
Note that this port will install these utilities with a `g' prefix,
for example gdate, gexpr, and gtest, but the texinfo documentation
will refer to them without the `g' prefix.
So, try gdircolors instead. You can check with the above pkg-info(8) command to see what this package installs and where.
 
Code:
$  pkg info -l coreutils | grep dircolors
        /usr/local/bin/gdircolors
        /usr/local/man/man1/gdircolors.1.gz

Ah HA - it's using gdircolors.
Code:
$ gdircolors

Just change a line in .bashrc

( the output is not as robust as Linux, but... hope I can work with it.)

thanks for the help.
