Can you be more specific?  
In your example you use MC and are trying to use function keys.  
What terminal were you using?  xterm or something else?

I could not reproduce your problem.  I performed the following:
git clone git://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc.git
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-screen=ncurses
src/mc

I was able to move up and down with ctrl-n/ctrl-p.
Open a file with F3.
Page up and down, move from file to file.
Close the file with F3.
Close the program with F10.

If there were supposed to be colors, I wouldn't know, I've no idea 
what it is supposed to look like.
