LYNX-DEV still can't get ./configure to work (lynx2.7.1ac-0.12.tar.gz)

[Nelson Henry Eric]

I'm getting to feel like a broken record, but if I set the
environment variables to find the slang header and library,
then gcc2.7.2 no longer works.  If I don't set CPPFLAGS or
LIBS, then configure stops of course because it can't find
slang.h.  It's a catch 22.  On sunos4.1.3.

Rather than or in addition to --with-screen=slang could there
be a switch to set the location of the oddball header files
and libraries.  Something like --prefix-slang=/home/nelsonhe/.slang,
which would prefix this to SLANGINC = -I$(SLANG_PRE)/src and
SLANGLIB = -L$(SLANG_PRE)/lib as in the existent Makefile?
