I am trying to use MC without mouse. I looked at mc --help, but executing "mc -d" which should turn any mouse support off, results in NOT starting mc, but error:

Cannot open shared object file (missing libgpm.so.1)

Well, as said, I do not want mouse support on this machine (There is no mouse connected), so I do not want to have gpm installed.

Now: How do I tell this to mc when its own option -d does not work obviously?

I just tried "mc --nomouse" and it turned off mouse support in an xterm.

I meant to speak about console usage. What's it there? As said, mc -d does not work as it is supposed to. -- *º¤.,___,.¤º*¨¨¨*¤ =Oliver@home= *º¤.,¸¸¸,.¤º*¨¨*¤ I / __|__ http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/Olli/olli.html I I / / |_/ http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/friends.html I I \ \__|_\ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VGAP-93 I I \___| mailto:VGAP-93-subscribe@yahoogroups.com I

It does work, but not as you thought :) The -d makes mc not support the mouse, but the executable still requires libgpm. This dependency is created at link time and can't be changed at runtime. The only way to change this is to recompile mc and pass --without-gpm at configure time.

AAAAAAAAH! Thanks PT!

That IS what I was after

No other workaround?

I just compiled the latest version, 4.6.0 and have full mouse support built-in, and I don't usually use gpm. It dosn't give the old error messages in the logs, so try 4.6.0 and build with the defaults. It's nice to have gpm support when you occaisionally need it. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation

Watch for a 4.6.0 in 8.2 :)

Why should I :) I'm maintaining mc and 4.6.0 appeared just in time to make it into 8.2 :) But don't expect too much as the changes are very moderate. The only significant change is that gmc, aka the GNOME version of mc, has been dropped.

That totally escaped me as I never used the internal editor :)
