When I try to update mc I get the following error .. gcc -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -O3 -mcpu=athlon-xp -march=athlon-xp -msse -mmmx -m3dnow -pipe -Wall -o mcmfmt mfmt.o gcc -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -O3 -mcpu=athlon-xp -march=athlon-xp -msse -mmmx -m3dnow -pipe -Wall -o man2hlp man2hlp.o -lglib-2.0 gcc -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -O3 -mcpu=athlon-xp -march=athlon-xp -msse -mmmx -m3dnow -pipe -Wall -o cons.saver cons.saver.o /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: libcom_err.so.2, needed by /lib/libext2fs.so, may conflict with libcom_err.so.3 ../edit/libedit.a(editdraw.o)(.text+0xd86): In function `print_to_widget': : undefined reference to `SLsmg_write_char' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [mc] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mc-4.6.0-r11/work/mc-4.6.0/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mc-4.6.0-r11/work/mc-4.6.0' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

The utf-8 patch seems to add this line: SLsmg_write_char(textchar); which refers to a function from the slang library. I think this will cause compiling with USE="unicode -slang" to fail. I've just compiled mc with USE=-unicode and this worked. I haven't tried it with USE=slang, but I think that will work too. USE=unicode should probably pull in slang as a dependency, or the patch needs to be modified to not use slang (don't know if that's possible).
you are right, added slang as dep for unicode
