Re: mc-4.5.35 install error

Hi,

I noticed the same install problem in mc-4.35.  What I ended up doing
was going into the lib and doc directories of the source tree and
issuing the following command

	ln -sf ../mkinstalldirs

This helped me get around the problem that you described.  I hope this
helps.
