I just copied the cvs source into a fresh directory, used this
configuration:
Duron750, Mandrake8.2, gcc-2.96, gnome, sawfish, gnome-terminal,
$TERM=xterm.
Configuration:
Source code location: .
Compiler: gcc
Compiler flags: -g -O2 -Wall
File system: Midnight Commander Virtual File System
tarfs, ftpfs, fish, smbfs
Screen manager: SLang with terminfo
Install console saver: yes
Mouse support: GPM and xterm
X11 events support: yes
Debugger code:
With subshell support: yes
Internal editor: yes
Install path: /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib/mc
and this happened:

It seems #define USE_NCURSES 1 is set if I use --with-ncurses=no or
--without-ncurses.
I have to remove any reference to ncurses completely to get it to not
set USE_NCURSES.
I think that was the original problem. When I first got the pre1
source, I used a
./configure command from 4.5.55 that had -with-<package>=no on some things
because it used to compile a bunch of stuff in that I didn't want, so I
manually unset them.
./configure --help says that you can use --with-<package>=no or
--without-<package>.
I don't think I should monkey with the configure scripts, thats DEEP MAGIC.

Again, you are correct. I wasn't sure what auto-menus meant, and it never
seemed to do anything. I'm still not sure what it does.

Yes, the code is well-hacked already isn't it?
The program is great, but the code is a bit spotty and disorganized in
places,
but DEFINATELY needs to be kept alive. Glad you're in charge.

I agree, and you're welcome :-).
It's so... so... hackable, and a great place to learn what makes a great
C program work..

Yes, it's a little bug somewhere. Four lines in menu.c. See attachment.
