I have emerged mc and it looks ugly, no vertical or horizontal line characters are displyed, just spaces. I had a similar problem with another gentoo installation, can somebody please tell me the correct configuration and parameters to emerge a better looking mc?

Hmm - do you have utf-8 enabled? In this case you should go through the Gentoo UTF-8 Guide and see if that changes anything ...

Can you run the following | Code: | | locale && emerge -vp baselayout && grep UNIC /etc/rc.conf |
It will likely look like | Code: | LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.4-r7 USE="unicode -bootstrap -build -static" 0 kB
Total size of downloads: 0 kB
# UNICODE specifies whether you want to have UNICODE support in the console.
# If you set to yes, please make sure to set a UNICODE aware CONSOLEFONT and
UNICODE="yes" |
I suspect the problem is the unicode USE flag that is now on by default. The result is that when you upgrade baselayout, you end up with UNICODE="yes" in /etc/rc.conf. You could also try | Code: | | LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 mc |
Either define a unicode system locale, or disable unicode for baselayout.
