RE: Midnight Commander on Sun Sparc 2.5 with SunOS5

Hi, Roskin: 

Thanks for your reply. 
I don't know i can't send html email in this mailing list. From now on, i
will send only plain text mails. Thanks for your reminding. 

Yes, I am using mc-4.5.55. From your words, i understand that what i have
met is a known bug of version 4.5.55, isn't it? 

Another question, in Sun workstation (mine is Sparc with SunOS 5) , how can
i remove softwares i "make install" before? 

thanks, 


Regards,
Xu Qiang

I'm assuming you are using version 4.5.55.  You should try version 
4.6.0-pre1 or the latest snapshot.  This problem was fixed by removing 
doc-gnome directory.

This bug was also fixed after 4.5.55 and before 4.6.0-pre1.

This still doesn't work and I don't think it will ever work.

I remember seeing similar reports about failures in the "doc-gnome"  
directory.
