gtk+ is not a required package for MC.  You must have been misled by
somebody or by some document.

Strictly speaking, gettext is not required either - you can compile MC
without NLS support or use option "--with-included-gettext" to the
"configure" script.

The only requirement is glib version 1.2.x.

There is no string "Error opening terminal" in the CVS version of GNU
Midnight Commander.

You forgot to mention the version of MC.  I believe that you should read
the following documents (they are harsh sometimes, but still very useful):

This question is answered in the first document :-)
