Hi,
I've just upgraded from Lynx 2.7 to Lynx 2.7.1 on HP-UX 10.01. Whilst
it was compiling, I found the following text in the PROBLEMS file:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is an apparently broken version of select() in libcurses.a
of HP/UX 10.10. It also breaks tn3270, ncftp, emacs, and xemacs.
Using:
LIBS="-lc -lcurses -ltermcap \
^^^
(i.e, adding -lc *before* the -lcurses) in the snake3 and snake3-slang
targets of the top level Makefile yields a useable image, but with
inappropriate video attributes on the Lynx displays (reverse video and
underscores on everything). Using "-lc -lHcurses" instead fixes the
^^^^^^^^^
video attributes but then the arrow keys are messed up. - Donald S.

NOTE: If HP fixes the problem or you come up with a better workaround,
notify the address@hidden list.
Updated NOTE (09-02-96): A patch reportedly is available from HP to fix
the select() problem, so that "-lc" is no longer needed, but the
curses glitch is not yet fixed, and you should still include
"-lHcurses".
Updated NOTE (02-03-97): The problems reportedly are fixed with
patches PHCO_8086 and PHCO_8947 from HP.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This memo is to let you know that PHCO_8086 & PHCO_8947 are very old and are
no longer available. The following patch is the one to install if running
under HP-UX 10.20: PHCO_11342.
Regards,
