Comment (by idleft@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 ryandesign@…]:
 > Actually the fact that you have /usr/bin/dircolors at all makes me
 worried you may have installed all of coreutils into /usr/bin, and without
 the "g" prefix that we add in MacPorts. Is that possible? If so, that
 would be bad, because coreutils contains GNU versions of many utilities,
 many of which are already on OS X, and coreutils probably overwrote the OS
 X versions with its own.


 Yes, your concern is right. It's an old problem I have in Mountain Lion. I
 stupidly followed some guide, compiled and installed the coreutils into
 the /usr/bin. I thought the new installation of Mavericks would
 overwritten this problem, but it seems doesn't work, as your assumption. I
 checked out the utilities in /usr/bin, likie 'ls', etc. None of them
 working properly, and I have to add path /bin in front of /usr/bin to make
 these basic commands working. Is there are anything else I can do to solve
 this problem?
