where is mc binary

If you took it from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnu-darwin/ (you 
didn't give enough information, so I have to guess), that mc is called 
"midc".

Beware that the version they are distributing is mc-4.5.51, which is quite 
old.  You may want to download mc-4.5.55 or the latest snapshot from 
http://www.gnome.org/projects/mc/

To all:

Unfortunately, many distributors seem to ignore the mc development since
the version 4.5.54 (ximian) or even 4.5.51 (redhat, GNU-darwin).  
Distributors prefer to fix bugs themselves instead of relying on the mc
developers.

In my opinion, it's not just a consequence of somebody's conservatism,
it's an problem of trust.  There are reasons for that, and changing the
mailing list addresses twice in a short time is one of them.  Stability is
another factor.

I believe that restoring trust to the MC development team is the highest
priority, much higher than new features.  Otherwise many users will never 
seen the new features.
