On the BL web page there are instructions how to install MC.
The small add-on from BL web page is good for a rescue disk.
If you want to use MC as universal tool for viewing, packing,
running programs etc. you should definetely install the full
package from the Slackware distribution.

    BL 1.x -> slackware 3.5
    BL 2.x -> slackware 7.1

If you are using 8bit characters, run MC with -a parameter.
