Hi
I'm not sure where else to seek help with this, I've placed a bug report on the MC site at sourceforge as well.
I'm running OS X 10.3.6 on a G5 2Ghz Mac and have successfully installed MySQL using Fink.
I installed Midnight Commander (mc-4.5.54-3-deb), using Fink and, after installing X Windows from the Apple site, managed to get it to run in terminal. However, the cursor keys do not respond to keyboard input and produce only alphanemeric characters (a,b,c or d respectively) at the prompt line. Clicking on the menu or file items produces no response. Control O minimises MC but does not allow input into the terminal.
Function keys seem to work OK. Tab and Return keys operate as expected but, as there's no way to navigate, MC is effectively rendered useless.
Forgive me if I've put this question in the wrong place, if you know of some other mailing list where I might more usefully seek advice please let me know.
If anyone has solved this problem I'm keen to hear how it was done, I really miss MC on the Mac as I use it extensively on my Linux systems.
Regards
Ray
I've gotten some improvement in mc's response by setting the TERM environment variable, e.g. to "xterm" or "vt100", but it's still not exactly what you'd get on Linux.
