Hi Paul, Thanks for the report. What version of RHEL 5.N? I.e., what's "N"? I couldn't reproduce that on a 5.5 x86-based system using /usr/bin/gcc. Can you reproduce it with the standard compiler?

Odd that you get those warnings and I don't. At first I thought I might be able to reproduce the warning by removing LS_COLORS from my environment, but that didn't work. Can you see if this gets rid of those warnings? diff --git a/tests/misc/ls-misc b/tests/misc/ls-misc index e663a5f..b0c5dce 100755 --- a/tests/misc/ls-misc +++ b/tests/misc/ls-misc @@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ my $saved_ls_colors; sub push_ls_colors($) { - $saved_ls_colors = $ENV{LS_COLORS}; + $saved_ls_colors = $ENV{LS_COLORS} || ''; $ENV{LS_COLORS} = $_[0]; } The failures make it look like ls is being run without the -o option.
