Jag ls -l broken?

[scaryfish]

I'm sure I've seen this somewhere else before but I couldn't find it again - so apologies in advance.

If I try typing ls -l or ls -a or in fact any tags after ls it says "directory -l not found".

Help?

It sounds like you've made a permanent alias [maybe you aliased ls to ls --color ] Check your ~.tcshrc file

Did you install a colored ls before? if so either remove the alias or reinstall ls color [http://macosx.forked.net].

I mentioned the colored ls thing, because that's what happened to me. colored ls was installed in /usr/local/bin and because apple went and changed $PATH on us, the colored ls wasnt found. ls was taking --color as the first argument and then interpreting -l as the directory. Confused me at first, but I figured it out

Ahh, yep, that's exactly right. Thanks!
