    Post How to install Midnight commander

    Midnight Commander is a very useful file manager.

    To run midnight commander you need glib 1.x.x. or newer.

    1. Install glib
    # wget ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.5/glib-2.5.6.tar.gz
    # tar zxvf glib-2.5.6.tar.gz
    # cd glib-2.5.6
    # ./configure --prefix=/usr
    # make
    # make install

    NOTE. If you're installing Glib 2.x.x configure it with /usr directory.

    2. Install Midnight Commander
    # wget http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/uti...c-4.6.0.tar.gz
    # tar zxvf mc-4.6.0.tar.gz
    # cd mc-4.6.0
    # ./configure
    # make
    # make install

    To run Midnight commander use

    #mc

    Also, you may add mouse support. Install gpm daemon to get it work with mouse.

    Enjoy!

    A faster way can be to intall it with YUM, will resolve depenencies as well.

    Yum is not available on all platforms. Installing from source is 99% available.


    On a sidenote.. anyone knows a secure alternative to mc ?
    For some customers, i want to make available something like mc, but one that can be chroot'ed to their homedir.
