Relevant part of the "lynx -version"-output:

 Lynx Version 2.8.6dev.12 (02 Jun 2005)
 libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 0.9.7g, ncurses 5.3.20021019
 Built on aix5.1.0.0 Jun  3 2005 16:34:48

I want to mention that most of the installed free software I compiled 
myself. So perhaps I have some self-made compile/configuration problems. 
The last lynx version I built successfully was 2.8.6dev.10.

Greetings

Jens
