RPM checks dependencies by looking for other packages *that were
installed using rpm*. Therefore, if you used the offiical setup program
to install the official ncurses package -- third party RPM packages
won't recognize that. They want you to use rpm to install an
ncurses.rpm.
Short version: rpm --no-dependencies
Short short version: man rpm
Short short short version: go ask the folks at the site where you got
the mc.rpm.
You'll get very little help on this list for questions about "some third
party package from some dude 'out there' doesn't work..."
