Well, I downloaded ncurses 5.2 and its patches built it into $HOME and still 
get the same error. How can I tell for sure which ncurses lynx is trying to 
use? ~/lib is the first thing in LD_LIBRARY_PATH and I did a 'make clean' and 
killed config.cache and config.status and reconfigured and ran 'make' again.

I'm out of ideas here, now.

P.S. I hate installing software under $HOME ;)
