Try this:

  $ export TERM=vt102 ; mc -c  

If that works, the mouse will probably not work.

 $ export TERM=xterm ; mc -c -x

will get the mouse to work if your ncurses terminal entries are working
properly.  

BTW, I also got mc to work inside of Emacs using terminal-emulator in
Emacs.  However, the feel of this was not what I was looking for.  I did
think it was cool that it worked though.  :-)   Still looking for a good
file browser (not dired) that is integrated with Emacs.

Regards,
Craig
