The mc-4.5.30 package shipped with RH 6.0 is compiled with the wrong gpm version (probably lesser than gpm 1.17 included in the RH 6.0 distributive). Due to this mouse does not work with mc on the linux text console. The mc-4.5.30 package must be recompiled with gpm 1.17 libs. This solves the problem.
