I haven't specified a directory to run pkg-config in. I just suggested
to define PKG_CONFIG_PATH not via an additional export command but
simultaneously with calling some program, which depends on it.

When you're installing gettext, pkg-config,.. do you know where they
are installed to? If they aren't installed into some system
directories, then one should take into account, that for each program
there are 2 important directories: "bin" and "lib". The "bin" should be
included into the PATH environmental variable and "lib" into
DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH (I believe, since I'm not on Mac).

Also it's important to know, whether you're building/installing all
this stuff under a user/admin account.

But since you've already encountered problems, may be it'd be better to
follow some HOWTO, if there is one, or just wait until mc get packaged?
If you still want to do it by yourself, be prepared to search through
the net for some solutions for general issues, which are not mc related.

Maybe there is someone on Mac here on the list, who could assist better?
