I would like to install mc-4.6.0-HP-UX
It is already compiled.
I have uncompressed it, and
export MC_DATADIR=/root/home/root/mc/share/mc

But the problem is, if I rin ./bin/mc
:
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /usr/lib/libc.2
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
Aboet(coredump)

I am using B10.20

I ran into the same issue. after many hours of searching for this shared library, gave up and when on to much more interesting things in life.

did you download the source form the UK port download site?

try WinSCP and putty works even better. I loved NC in the DOS days, and have it back with WinSCP.

peace

Hi,

Looks like this was not compiled for 10.20. 10.20 uses libc.1 where as libc.2 is for 11.0 onwards.

Hi,
the mentioned library is avialable with
HP-UX 11.00.
If you can access a HP 11.00 machine, you
can copy the needed lib.
We did it the same way and the program was
working fine afterwards.

Regards,
Matthias

I have copyed ewerything what it needed and it works!!!!!!
When somebody want some libs, please write to me

While I'm glad that copying libc.2 to 10.20 'fixed' your problem, it is totally unsupported. libc.2 contains operating system specific functions that are designed for the OS in question. In fact, I'm amazed that the app worked at all. I would never recommend such a solution to anyone.

The better options would be:

- recompile mc for 10.20 yourself

- upgrade to 11.00

I know you have right.
The ftp in mc works not correct, it doesn't finds the host.(No it isn't a /etc/hosts isue)
