Slow Midnight Commander Startup

Hi,

I just did a world update last night, and I needed to recompile my Midnight Commander for some reason or the other. Strangely thought, after I did this, my MC takes a very long time to startup, about 2 minutes to be exact. Is there any reason for this, and how can I fix this? I really cannot live without my Midnight Commander, and so need it back.

Thx!

Had the same 'feature' a while ago. In my case, it was because of mc being compiled with USE="+X" and the DISPLAY-variable pointing to a wrong host. Try to re-emerge mc without X-support to see if it resolves the startup issue

Covers the same problem.
The -X didn't resolve it for me
