Hi, Let me exlain my point. I am working on quite a few Unix machines: AIX, HP, Solaris. Some of them are here in NJ, some in TX. I never met the sysadmin in TX, the sysadmin here in NJ is also the head of local IS departmemt which means he is a very busy person. I don't have root access to any of those machines. If I want to install mc on any of those machines using binaries which I downloaded from the inetrnet I have to ask a sysadmin to install THREE packages - mc, glib and libintl. You can imagine what they say if I would ask them to do so! But I am sure I could convince them to install just ONE package - mc, which includes all packages. So my only option is to build all myself , which is again a hassle - I have to build all three packages in my home directory instead of just one. I am sure there are many people around in similar situation and many just give up on using mc.
