mc linux engine & cgi

Hello All,

This is a perhaps complex problem,
specially since it's all over my head,
so I'll just talk aloud about here
and cross my fingers for the best.

Recently I upgraded my webhost
account, and have now lost the
mc cgi functionality I'd been
relying on for years :-(

So far, I've tried a two-path
solution: figure out if I can
fix the setup I already had,
or start all over with a new
mc engine.

As far as a fix-it solution, two
ideas.

One, does the binary vs ASCII
upload warning for text files
also apply to the mc engine
upload? (I use my dreamweaver's
ftp function to manage my
web-files/folders.)

The other idea (thanks to
Ken Ray) was to do an
ldd mc shell command to
find any Apache shared libraries
missing from my webhost's
server. Unfortunately, all
I get is a "signal 6" error,
and no details whatsoever
in my server account's errors log.

So, as an alternative solution
I tried downloading and then
uploading a more recent mc
linux engine, but, because
I'm working on Windows,
I'm wondering if it's actually
possible to download, de-
compress, and then upload
a Linux file from a Windows
machine.

Anyway, if someone can figure
out what I'm trying to get at
and has advice, that would be
great.

Cheers,
Nicolas Cueto
