This doesn't sound good, just make sure you aren't constrained to 
jailshell or whatever CloudLinux calls it, because previously I remember 
that in that case you somehow couldn't even properly allocate a tty... 
it'd be stupid if you'll manage to compile mc and then figure it doesn't 
run. You can check it with screen if it's already installed on the target 
host, if that works, then mc is also likely to work.

I would have actually just extracted pre-compiled mc from an rpm and put 
all of its library dependencies (also extracted from rpms) on 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH as the other poster suggests, but yeah, you can do it the 
hard way too.

The following seemed to work for me:

    $ GLIB_LIBDIR=/usr/lib ../configure

> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/myglibc/build/lib

You don't need this.
