fair nuf ... then:

    ./configure \
...
---  --with-screen=ncurses \
+++  --with-screen=ncursesw \
---  --enable-widec
...

   configure fails w/
   checking for initscr in -lncursesw... no
   checking for -lncursesw in /usr/local/lib... no
   checking for -lncursesw in /usr/lib... no
   configure: error: Cannot link ncursesw library

argh.  nothin's simple ... ;-S

ok, so to test, i'll need to build ncurses ... "pls pardon my verbosity"

i've DL'd the src, applied the rollup (0319) and April patches successfully and 
am abt to configure.

wondering what the 'typical' config options for Darwin ncurses are, I DL'ed to 
compare from Darwin8 srces @ http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4/

% wget 
http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/tarballs/other/ncurses-15.tar.gz
% gnutar zxvf ncurses-15.tar.gz
% cd /usr/ports/ncurses/ncurses-15

% grep configure Makefile
   Configure = mkdir -p $(OBJROOT);cd $(OBJROOT); $(SRCROOT)/ncurses/configure
   --prefix=/usr --with-shared --without-debug --enable-termcap
   --without-cxx-binding --without-cxx --enable-widec --with-abi-version=5.4

so, let's try:

   ./configure \
   --prefix=/usr/local/ncurses \
   --with-shared \
   --with-normal \
   --without-debug \
   --enable-termcap \
   --enable-widec \
   --without-cxx \
   --without-cxx-binding \
   --with-abi-version=5.4

configure looks OK w/:

        ** Configuration summary for NCURSES 5.4 20050430:
        
                 extended funcs: yes
                 xterm terminfo: xterm-new
        
                  bin directory: /usr/local/ncurses/bin
                  lib directory: /usr/local/ncurses/lib
          include directory: /usr/local/ncurses/include/ncursesw
                  man directory: /usr/local/ncurses/man
         terminfo directory: /usr/local/ncurses/share/terminfo
        
        ** Include-directory is not in a standard location

subsequent 'make' & 'make install' seem OK

checking/comparing ...

ok, the libncursesW* is there
                 ^
close enuf for gov't work ...

next, 1st modify path (just in case ...)
   set path = (/usr/local/ncurses/bin $path)

and, now, let's try lynx2-8-6 again ...

configure w/:

   ./configure \
   --prefix=/usr/local \
   --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl \
   --with-zlib \
   --with-screen=ncursesw --with-curses-dir=/usr/local/ncurses \
   --enable-color-style \
   --enable-default-colors \
   --enable-change-exec \
   --enable-cgi-links \
   --enable-exec-links \
   --enable-exec-scripts \
   --disable-nls \
   --enable-ipv6

is OK, as are make/make install.

the binary looks right,

   % which lynx
        /usr/local/bin/lynx
   % lynx -version

and seems to be linked against the RIGHT (my external build) libncursesw ...

AND, as a bonus, the silly thing works, too ;-)

yay!, i think ...

1st, i know diddly-squat abt ipv6 ...

that said (while i'm unsuccessfully googling about)  how exactly do i do this 
if my ISP's network (speakeasy.net) does NOT (iiuc) currently route IPv6?

cheers,
