Hi,

 <WARNING! I AM A LINUX USER!>

 There is a clash between defintions of some (internally used?) data
 types in your system header files. This has nothing to do with mc
 directly -- mc only triggers that problem.

 Try compile the following C-code (call it "clashtest.c" for example)

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 include <sys/statvfs.h>

 int main( char *argv[], int argc )
 {
                /* really useless code!
                */
                int a;
                if( a == 10 )
                {
                                a=5;
                }               
 }
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

 Compile it with 

                 make clashtest

 It should also trigger the problem by including statvfs.h.

 Possible reason for that problem:

 While installing new kernel sources/new system headers a symbolic link
 becomes lost and there was made a directory with the contents the
 symlink was previouly pointing to. Now you have a mix of old and new
 system headers on your system.

 But: As the warning above states previously: THIS ALL IS ONLY ARGUED!
      Similiar things may happen on Linux systems too.

 To solve the problem:
 Try to figure out, what recent installation instructions say about
 location and contentes of directories containg system header files.
 Try to synchronize your system with the documentation. Dont delete
 directories with system relevant files. Rename them instead.

 Good luck!

 Have a nice weekend,
 Meino
