Troubleshooting Your Plugin Install

A summary of steps to check you’ve got everything installed and configured properly…
These notes take from the comments in ciaran’s blog post here: http://ciaranwal.sh/2007/11/01/customising-colours-in-leopard-terminal

1. You’re running Snow Leopard and have installed SIMBL-0.9.7a
2. Completely quit Terminal (use “Quit Terminal” from the menu)
3. Remove any terminal color bundles from your ~/Library/Application Settings/SIMBL/Plugins folder
4. Open up /Applications/Utilities in finder, right click on Terminal.app, click “Get info”, and make sure that “Open in 32bit” is not checked
5. Download the link I posted, and move that to ~/Library/Application Settings/SIMBL/Plugins folder
6. Open up Terminal, the | MORE | button should show up on the “Text” tab of Terminal preferences

Extra Step: If you see the MORE button but none of the text seem to appear in color (for example when you do an “ls” command)…
If you don’t have one already, create a .bash_profile file in your home dir, then add these lines:
#Tells Terminal to use colors
export GREP_OPTIONS=’–color=auto’
export CLICOLOR=1;
