If "isrd" is your home directory, try using SSL_DIR=~/isrd/bin/lynx282

I can't see what's the problem except for a wrong path. Which version of SSL
are you using?

Go to that "lynx282" directory and enter "pwd". What does it say?

I have no specific suggestion. I've never had problems I could not solve when
compiling SSLeay or openSSL and then compiling lynx with SSL. On this system
here my home directory is "/home/ismael", the directory where I compile lynx
is "/home/ismael/lynx", the SSL directory is "/home/ismael/ssl" and
everything works fine.

I hope you'll succeed.
