Hi Frank,
looks ok here with MC on debian/stable.
Upon further investigation, the problem seems restricted to PDF
files. MC will open ZIP and DEB files. If I run MC in an xterm I see this:
Enter some *.pdf will open it using okular as pdf-viewer.
/tmp/mc-frank/mcextELJ902: 11: @EXTHELPERSDIR@/doc.sh: not found
Hhmm, looks like it is looking for doc.sh in /tmp ???
Yes that is strange.
The doc.sh file IS in /usr/lib/mc/ext.
Please check also permissions of any MC-related files in your /home/. In the
past I once ran into a problem, when starting MC as root after a "su -". Then
the MC-file in my /home became root permissions and could not br read as
normal user again. Just an idea.....
Checked them and all are OK
And you can also try, to purge MC and reinstall (aptitude purge mc && aptitude
install mc).
If done so, please recheck, if the issue is still there.
Dis that earlier and nothing changed. I did notice one strange thing. I
had a look at the source files for MC and the EXTHELPERDIR is not in the
mc.ext.ini
file whereas it is in mine. Could it be part of the compilation process ??
