Many of these require other libs. If you have your dependencies in place you should be able to get MC to work.

For the clueless amongst us [yep, me again], how do you add these libs to a system?

Is it a simple:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install ??

Or is it something more involved?

This information is mainly for people trying to get MC running on non-debian based distros (Suse, Centos, etc).
Debian based distros like Ubuntu and Mint would likely get everything they need by using the MC apt repositories.
