It still works fine for me. I'm using ~amd64 and these versions: sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201 app-misc/mc-4.6.2_pre1 I didn't do anything special after upgrading glibc. Does MC use "file" or some similar command to identify what kind of document it is opening? Perhaps some supporting utility is broken on your side for some reason. Paul
