Hi Kevin! I'd recommend to try git version of mc. Main page at http://midnight-commander.org/ contains direct URLs to clone: $ git clone git://midnight-commander.org/git/mc.git # git proto, more bandwidth efficient or $ git clone http://git.midnight-commander.org/mc.git # http proto $ cd mc (Can't find prerequisites page at wiki. You need a bunch of developer's heareds) After clone you need to generate ./configure: $ ./autogen.sh the rest of procedure is standard: $ ./configure <optional-args> $ make $ make install To sync source repo you can run $ git pull in mc source root directory time to time. -- Sergei
