I have tested mc on IRIX 6.2, 6.5.x, with the same results:

-it always ignores mc.ini (even when it is not corrupt - cleaned up manually)
-when it saves the new mc.ini, the ini file always gets corrupted (adds some trash to it; it is like a C pointer issue)
-the default terminal type is incompatible with mc: page up/down, home/end and many F keys are not working properly

Adding all this together, Midnight Commander is totally unusable on IRIX.

Has anyone succeeded to configure it properly?
 
@ghost180x could you upload the package somewhere or your arguments for configuring it and dependencies?
I cannot live without mc ;-)
