Obtaining the Midnight Commander
Reporting problems.
This version of the Midnight Commander comes with two interfaces: a
graphical one for the GNOME desktop (http://www.gnome.org) and a text
mode interface (the same old user interface we have had for a long
time).
Most of the engine is shared between both versions, but they come with
radically different interfaces: the GNOME version is aimed to be a
simple to use tool for novice users.
Requirments
-----------
To compile the GNU Midnight Commander you need at least to have a copy
of the glib library, this library is available in ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk.
GNOME edition requirements
--------------------------
Optionally, if you want to compile the GNOME edition, you need to
install the GNOME libraries and its dependencies.
The GNOME libraries are available in:
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-libs

edition. The Tk and XView editions are included with the tar file but
