Thanks for the tip.  I just checked my CD's and see that it's not on them, 
which is why I must have downloaded the current rpm.  

I initially tried to compile from source and got errors--perhaps this has 
something to do with the problems--i.e. somehow the rpm mamaged to by-
pass the compilation problem, with the result that on some systems mc runs 
buggy.

P.S. Sorry if my original post turned up 3x--something screwy with Pegasus 
and the @gnome.org address.
