Hello,
     My name is Sharudin, systems analyst at the Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation Secretariat in Singapore. I'm quite a newbie in Unix, so please
bear with me if this problem that I'm seeking advice on, is a trivial
matter.

      I'm emailing to seek advice on the problem I encounter while trying to
install lynx 2.8.3 on my Redhat Linux 6.2 machine.
Machine specs as follows;

Pentium 200Mhz MMX
32MB Ram
2G harddisk of which 500MB is free.

      I've downloaded the lynx 2.8.3 from http://lynx.isc.org/release/,
unzipped the files in my home directory (/home/din/lynx) and tried the
installation.

      Prior to installing the lynx 2.8.3, the Redhat Linux has lynx 2.8.2
installed. I was able to create the makefile, ie, running ./configure does
not give any problem. While running make, I got this error msg:

ake[2]: Leaving directory `/home/din/lynx/lynx2-8-3/src/chrtrans'
gcc  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -I. -I..

                 from ./LYClean.c:4:

                 from ./LYClean.c:4:

make[1]: *** [LYClean.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/din/lynx/lynx2-8-3/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2

     I'm hoping that you could also help me on another issue. You see, I've
wrote a Perl script to dig through all my web documents (from command line)
and check for any broken links. I used lynx to test for each and every link.
The problem is, there are some sites that lynx kept retrying for 180,000
times, before it gave up. Are there any way that I can reduce this number or
any way I can set a timout?

      Thank you, in advance for any advice that you can provide.

Sharudin
