The last part, although common knowledge, is wrong. You generally don't need root privileges to install software on Unix-like systems. It suffices to have write permission on the directory where you want to install things. For example, you can have a dedicated user "builder" that compiles and installs software, and you make this user the owner of /usr/local. For mc, however, things are a little different with Linux, since it installs the cons.saver program, which needs to be set-uid.
