Re: [801bab95] issues with man pages
Obviously, it misses the `/usr/local' prefix.
Cannot reproduce. Works find for me.
Please show the output of
/usr/local/bin/mc -V /usr/local/bin/mc -F
Below is the output from
LANG= /usr/local/bin/mc -V LANG= /usr/local/bin/mc -F
Evrything looks fine. However, it seems that in /tmp/mc-wl/mcext
the `exec_prefix' variable doesn't get expanded:
#! /bin/sh
MC_EXT_FILENAME=/home/wl/cvs/groff/man/ditroff.man
export MC_EXT_FILENAME
MC_EXT_BASENAME=ditroff.man
export MC_EXT_BASENAME
MC_EXT_CURRENTDIR=/home/wl/cvs/groff/man

MC_EXT_SELECTED=ditroff.man
export MC_EXT_SELECTED
MC_EXT_ONLYTAGGED=
export MC_EXT_ONLYTAGGED
${exec_prefix}/lib/mc/ext.d/text.sh view man lessa
I've just discovered that F3 doesn't work for other files also,
e.g. pressing this key on a .tgz file I get a similar error message.
For completeness, I've attached my config.log file.

Nat n...@switch.demon.nl writes: Maybe you could add that the copy and move dialogs (F5 and F6) have a very useful history. I probably should. It's one of those features I occasionally notice but never remember to use. I can see how useful it could be, though. It's not just in copy/move, but in many dialogs. I /do/ mention it as a feature of one of them, but I guess I should try to see if I can place it in a more relevant section, or ideally as a program feature rather than a feature's feature. With Alt-H you get a list of dirs that you have used earlier to copy or move to. Clicking with the mouse on the [^] at the end of the input line has the same effect.
