Just for a quick reference point -- the gcc version I was using was 2.81,
and most of the
binaries date from the fall of '98. I don't know how much might have
changed.

Also, unless you are interested in MC as a project, as I was, as noted on
the web site, there
are both much smaller and faster implementations (Volkov Commander) and ones
with
many more bells and whistles like transparent net access (WindowsCommander).

Have fun. The curses version is rather a dead end. Miguel de Icaza, the
maintainer, has went on to bigger and better things. Even when i was working
with it, his interest was primarily in getting it going in Gnome.
