I don't have colors in Midnight commander editor

[Mark Ryden]

Hello,
  I have fedora release 9 . I installed mc (midnight commander) by
"yum install mc".
When I open xml files  or "c" source files or java  with mc editor (by
pressing F4) I don't see any colors. (I mean colors of some keywords ,
like "int" (for c source file), lines starting with "<" or "<--"  for
xml, etc.)

On other fedora machines I **do** see colors with mc.
Any ideas what can be the reason ?
Rgs,
Mark
