Hi Yury and Everyone Else,
I ended up determining that i needed to do the following prior to configuring pkg-config: env LDFLAGS="-framework CoreFoundation -framework Carbon" ./configure --with-internal-glib doing this caused the configure of pkg-config to go smoothly, and then the rest went smoothly as well. I want to thank everyone who took the time to help me. Thank you all very much! Russ On 02/09/16, Yury V.

Given the difficulties that you are having, I'm really wondering why you haven't simply installed mc from any of the package management systems available for Mac OS X (MacPorts, homebrew, Fink, rudix, ...). I'm sorry, it's way too difficult to pinpoint what exactly is that you did wrong, but it seems that you are trashing your / (apparently without realizing it) instead of working in a clean prefix, so... really... you are on your own. Unfortunately, I can't afford to explain in details how one should safely build software from source, but maybe somebody else can help you further if they have time & inclination. -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.
