Here i am again...
about the gcc libraries, i looked and i found i have gcc-lib for a 
generic sparc-sun-solaris2; replacing the include files doesn't work...

Have i to put my nose in the code or is there another way?

I read in this mailing list about a configure procedure...but i don't 
have it in my lynx-2-7-1.zip, i still have only a Makefile, is it right?

TIA,
regards
Jo'
