What this means is that the version of /usr/lib/libtclX.X.so does not have
the symbol "stat" defined in the way in which 'mc' wants it and vise-versa,
or not defined at all.
The way i would solve something like this is to get a lower version number
of libtcl and place it in /usr/local/lib as libtclX.X.so.
Now if it were to be linked by ldconfig then the possablity of it breaking
something else is a big possablity, to over come that fact i would NOT link
it to libtcl.so, but create a script like the following.
#!/bin/sh
export LD_PRELOAD="/usr/local/lib/libtclX.X"
exec /usr/bin/mc
Call the script start.mc and place it in your path env.
Use 'chmod a+x start.mc' to make it executable.
Just type start.mc
Possably that just might work.
You could get a lower version, rename the old file to libtclX.X.so.old and
link the new one to libtcl.so and rerun ldconfig. Be carefull when doing
that sort of thing, you can render your system unusable.
