Thank you.  This is helpful information and gives me some good steps to try
out.  I appreciate it!

I've not used (knowingly) screen before, but I did a "screen -list" and got
the following result: 

No Sockets found in /var/run/screen/S-dleigh.

So that tells me it's installed but I don't know if the results are
indicative of a good or a bad situation vis-à-vis the liklihood of mc
running.
Thanks!
David

This doesn't sound good, just make sure you aren't constrained to jailshell
or whatever CloudLinux calls it, because previously I remember that in that
case you somehow couldn't even properly allocate a tty... 
it'd be stupid if you'll manage to compile mc and then figure it doesn't
run. You can check it with screen if it's already installed on the target
host, if that works, then mc is also likely to work.

I would have actually just extracted pre-compiled mc from an rpm and put all
of its library dependencies (also extracted from rpms) on LD_LIBRARY_PATH as
the other poster suggests, but yeah, you can do it the hard way too.

The following seemed to work for me:

     $ GLIB_LIBDIR=/usr/lib ../configure

> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/myglibc/build/lib

You don't need this.
