I have a fix that I'm working on....the latest snapshot fixes this problem and
gpm
and mc has never worked better here with the snapshot :)

I have a question I've wanted to ask a long time and this seems like a good 
place and time: 
 
Why is Midnight Commander located under gnome-extras and require gnome? I've 
never seen any special gnome-support in mc? 
 
I've got the same problem with wine b.t.w., and it have costed me 16h of 
compilation time in upgrading from 1.2 to 1.4.. :-) 
 

emerge sync ... and merge in the newest pam this will take care of the issue
since it's actually a pam problem not a mc problem.  Pam was not linking
correctly so applications where not building properly against it.

Naz

And why is it in gnome-extra... I'm not sure why it is, it does reguire glib to
compile for some reason so I'm not sure really, ask someone else.

Michael, thanks for the great help :)
