i didn't know how to do that, but yesterday JSS was offering help off-list
& suggested it, so i tried strings lynx28 | grep lynx.cfg & got:
lynx_cfg
/usr/local/lib/lynx.cfg
-cfg=FILENAME specifies a lynx.cfg file other than the default
lynx.cfg file not found as %s
# called lynx.cfg, and it has different content and a different format.
# to TRUE in lynx.cfg, or use the -nofrom command line switch. You also
# honored only if enabled via userdefs.h and/or lynx.cfg, and not
an unlimited number of download methods using the lynx.cfg file.
an unlimited number of upload methods using the lynx.cfg file.
[my reply to JSS yesterday] it does give the wrong lynx.cfg ,
ie the one the sysadmin has set up for his (older) version of Lynx.
so WHY isn't configure or its makefile defining lynx.cfg correctly?
the Makefile which came with 2-7 didn't create this problem.
[JSS' reply to me] I just tried building Lynx with some different options
& had exactly the same problem you are having:
lynx_cfg.h's LYNX_CFG_FILE define is getting overwritten somehow.
Something is wrong with the Lynx source, not configure .
I can debug it more easily now. Will report to LYNX-DEV when I fix it.
[me today] so i'll await further efforts to track down
why 2-8 is overwriting the definition of LYNX_CFG_FILE ...
(as i said, let's not underestimate the gremlins which may be lurking
inside 12 mths work by a lot of good people).
