Do you have your mouse correctly configured for gpm? Try running
"mc -d" to disable mouse suppport ("-d, --nomouse Disable mouse
support.", complete options are listed with "mc -h").
MC comes with gpm mouse support compiled in and makes trouble by
simply hanging if a mouse can not be properly detected. Either
correctly configure the mouse for gpm or always run MC with the
"-d" switch or just recompile MC without gpm mouse support and
there you go.
Just add the line "--without-gpm-mouse" to the ./configure directive
in the file "debian/rules" included with the Debian MC source package
and run the command "debian/rules binary" from within the source dir
to recompile and produce a .deb file. Naturally you need to have the
Debian development tools installed (dpkg-dev, etc.).
