mc shows Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by ser

After upgrading mc to mc 4.6.1-3 I see these msg after runing mc or mcedit as root:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

I tried to downgrade to mc from current but pacman says:

error: archive mc-4.6.1-2.pkg.tar.gz is corrupted

( I cleared the cache and used wget to download it )

Edit:
I found out that mc from testing is compiled --with-x, what does it do/add?
