These might help (your Ubuntu probably already has the right files,
and you need only in that case set some lynx.cfg variables):

http://lynx.isc.org/lynx2.8.7/lynx2-8-7/docs/README.ssl
http://lynx.isc.org/lynx2.8.7/lynx2-8-7/docs/README.rootcerts
http://lynx.isc.org/lynx2.8.7/lynx2-8-7/docs/README.sslcerts

For instance, this works for me with Debian/testing:

SSL_CERT_FILE:/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
