A couple of things you can check before getting too bogged down:

ls -l /usr/local/bin/mc

when this first happened I removed /usr/local/bin
and replaced there was nothing in it

Quoted 1 line

it may be a link to somewhere incorrect.

I did a "find / -name mc -print "all I got was /usr/bin/mc back

Quoted 5 lines

also: it might possibly have something to do with slocate (if you have it installed). Try running "slocate -u" as root.

Another thing to try is "which mc"

it gave /usr/bin/mc

Quoted 10 lines

Finally, are you trying to run mc from the command line? if so, is there an alias set up which points to /usr/local/bin/mc ? If you are running it from an icon on the desktop or a menu entry, check the command line that it's trying to run.

Oh, also check your login scripts (.bashrc and .bash_profile, or whatever is appropriate for your shell) and see if anything got changed there.

this was it I think there was a line with some about /usr/local/bin/mc I have deleted that line wish me luck

Quoted 16 lines

If you log in as a different user (or create a new user) does that user have a problem running mc?
