Links open in new window. Using Ubuntu 9.10, I decided to try a new version of Midnight Commander, the latest version, i.e. v 4.7.1. See downloads. I was able to compile the program after installing libgpm-dev and libslang2-dev After downloading, I copied the file over to /usr/local. Then, in the /usr/local directory, I do ... tar -xvjf mc-4.7.1.tar.bz2 I changed the permissions to reflect the main users on my system... chown -R usera:userb mc-4.7.1 Go into the directory cd mc-4.7.1 As a regular user I run... ./configure make sudo make install after it completees, you should be able to run it by typing "mc" from whatever directory. Note: If you play around with the colors in Midnight Commander and you can't get back to the way it was, check your home directory for ~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc All you should need to do is mv terminalrc terminalrcbak That fixed the font color for directories issue I was having, so it turns out that I didn't need to re-install Midnight Commander, after all, but one of the fixes is for a memory leak, so it's just as well. |
