LYNX-DEV Problems Making Lynx on FreeBSD 2.2.2 |

Hello, everyone.
I am trying to build Lynx 2.7.1 for FreeBSD 2.2.2 but am having some
problems. I ran into the sys_errlist conflict, but I got around it by
temporarily commenting out the sys_errlist declaration in
/usr/include/stdio.h while I was doing the "make freebsd". This at least
allowed the make to complete, but the problem is that when I start Lynx,
it is not drawing things correctly on the screen. It seems like it isn't
send the right escape sequences or something. Every time I move the arrow
keys, it just writes the text of the link in a few misplaced locations on
the screen. And nothing is in reverse video. Does this sound familiar to
anyone?
I know the easy solution would seem to be to install the lynx package from
the FreeBSD distribution, but I need to compile Lynx to allow EXEC_LINKS,
which are disabled in the package. The package version of Lynx works like
a champ, draws the screen correctly and everything. It just doesn't allow
and lynxexec: URLs, which I have to have.
If anyone could help me with this, I sure would appreciate it. Please let
me know if you need any more information than I have provided.
Thanks,
Dave
