tcsh failing on colorls problem

[ajahi]

Just installed 2010 - wonderful piece of work. however I have a problem: I have tcsh as my default shell, and almost every command I enter gives the following response:

Unknown colorls variable `rs'.

Guided by some comments in other distributions' forums, I found that

unsetenv LS_COLORS

gets things working again, but I'm presumably losing out on something by doing that. Anyway - filing this for reference because I haven't yet found any negative effects from removing that variable.

Just installed 2010 today - very fast installation  and boots up faster than  2009.   Excellent job.   

I'm installing a brother network printer MFC3820CN and the brother supplied rpm cupswrapperMFC3820CN-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm  needs tcsh - which I installed ok from the 2009 rpm.
Where did you install it from?
when I run :-   
[root@localhost]#  rpm -ihv --nodeps --force cupswrapperMFC3820CN-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm
 I get the error :- Unknown colorls variable `rs'.

What do I do with      unsetenv LS_COLORS    to fix the problem? 
(I tried adding it to /root/.tcshrc  with no change)
Thanks

Sorry, but I just took the low road and added it to my own .login. I haven't checked and am not on that machine right now, but is there a /etc/csh.login which automatically gets run by tcsh on startup ?

I did some more research and typing in :-
                   unset LS_COLORS
(at a root terminal) fixed  the problem error message:-
                  Unknown colorls variable `rs'.
and I successfully installed my brother network printer MFC3820CN following the instructions from
