That's great! Now we know that the old versions indeed have problems
finding glib.

Maybe subshell is guilty. Try "mc -u".

Also try the internal viewer and editor by running "mc -v /dev/null" and
"mc -e /dev/null" respectively. Report me if they run.

If neither of them works maybe the internal S-Lang library has problems
finding the terminfo database. Try adding "--with-termcap" to the
configure arguments. You'll have to run "make clean" and recompile
averything after that.

The last resort is of course debugger. It's easier to debug MC if it's
compiled with "--without-subshell" and no optimization (make CFLAGS=-g).
