RE: Midnight Commander on Solaris 7

systems...

I have to admit I chickened out there and downloaded the binary from
sunfreeware and installed that. Being very much a novice as far as compiling
stuff goes (this is about the third program I have compiled), I have no idea
what the above would do, or what glib and libtool are really about.

Sure, I understand - As I said, I am pleased to have it working... Maybe my
experiences will assist someone else wanting mc on Solaris 7.
