I'm guessing you have downloaded the source code packet (e.g. 
mc-4.6.2-pre2.tar.gz) and extracted it into a directory (e.g. 
/usr/local/src), and that you're using a text-mode shell rather than the 
GUI.

$ cd /usr/local/src/mc-4.6.2-pre1 # to move into the mc source tree.
$ ./configure

The 'configure' script preconfigures mc (how to compile, where to 
install, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb...) If it finishes without an error:

$ make

to build MC and its libraries and stuff. Then,

# make install
or
$ sudo make install
or
$ su -c "make install"

to install it on your computer. I use Linux and have no idea what will 
work for you, only that you need root privileges to install new 
software. Finally,

$ mc

to actually run MC. It will most likely appear with cyan or pale blue 
bars on a dark blue background. Once it works, you can start making it 
work for you.

A. Most likely because her art is as much kendo as a van Eyck altarpiece
