I'm with him on this... I'd really like to see MC work or be removed
from ports. Anyhow, you can download the source and compile it and it
works great.

It appears that it's currently not available via ports or packages, for
"final auditing".

Three solutions:

1. Wait.

2. Volunteer to fix it yourself. The guy who probably has it on his pile
doesn't have time to fix it right now. Perhaps because he's fixing
something else in OpenBSD, trying to raise his kids, or just taking a
sanity break.

3. Compile it yourself. Fetch the source from: http://www.gnome.org/mc

According to CVS, it was fixed 5 months ago.

Ok, i think you have OpenBSD 3.5 on i386 machine.

Step 1 : fetch this file :
ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.5/packages/i386/glib-1.2.10.tgz to
OpenBSD box
Step 2 : fetch this file :
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/file/managers/mc/mc-4.6.0.tar.gz
to OpenBSD box

Step 3 : on OpenBSD box type : pkg_add glib-1.2.10.tgz
Step 4: tar xvzf mc-4.6.0.tar.gz
Step 5: ./configure && make && make install
Step 6: rehash

Tell me if work..

The packages i had to install before compiling Midnight Commander were
glib2-2.2.3.tgz and pkgconfig-0.15.0.tgz. I think glib2 also depends on
gettext-0.10.40p1.tgz.
