...how does mother mc know where to find all this stuff if I do not see $MC_DATADIR being set?
They're defined in ./configure (around line 177) at compile time. Indeed they have changed over time, notably since 4.5.55. Good thing too, my /usr/lib is *crowded*. I have programs that keep their binaries in there for some reason.
Here's an excerpt from a program called fbi that pretty much sums up your confusion IMHO:
static char *default_font[] = {
/* why the heck every f*cking distribution picks another
location for these fonts ??? */ "/usr/share/consolefonts/lat1-16.psf",
"/usr/share/consolefonts/lat1-16.psf.gz",
"/usr/share/consolefonts/lat1-16.psfu.gz",
"/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/lat1-16.psf",
"/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/lat1-16.psf.gz",
"/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/lat1-16.psfu.gz",
"/usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/lat1-16.psf",
"/usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/lat1-16.psf.gz",
"/usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/lat1-16.psfu.gz",
"/lib/kbd/consolefonts/lat1-16.psf",
"/lib/kbd/consolefonts/lat1-16.psf.gz",
"/lib/kbd/consolefonts/lat1-16.psfu.gz",
NULL
};So, as you can see, it tends to be up to the particular distribution where to hide things. Good luck.
Peace to all.
