[Lynx-dev] Installation error for Lynx on Linux

[Gajanan Polaswar]

Hi,

 

We are trying to install Lynx on Linux Red hat 64 ES5.

Followed below step to Configure and install lynx
1. Extracted gzip -d lynx2.8.7.tar.gz to root directory
2. Then executed following command in sequence in the extracted folder.
./configure –with-ssl
make

But for make command we are getting error as below

 

address@hidden lynx2-8-7]# make

/bin/sh -c 'SHELL=/bin/sh /bin/sh ./scripts/cfg_defs.sh .'

Constructing sed-script help_files.sed

sed     -e '/^#/d' -e '/^$/d' \

                -e 's%\(.*\)=\(address@hidden)address@hidden@=\2=g%' \

                -e 's%\(.*\)=\(http:.*\)address@hidden@=\2=g%' \

                -e 's%\(.*\)=\(ftp:.*\)address@hidden@=\2=g%' \

                -e 's%\(.*\)=\(.*\.html\)address@hidden@=\2=g%' \

                help_files.tmp | tr '=' '"' > help_files.sed

Appending interim-fix for existing html files to help_files.sed

sed     -e '/^#/d' -e '/[:@]/d' -e '/^$/d' \

                -e 's%\(.*\)=\(.*\.html\)$%s=\2=\2=g%' \

                -e 's%\.html=%\\.html=%' \

                help_files.tmp | tr '=' '"' >> help_files.sed

if test -n ""; then echo 's%\\%%g' >> help_files.sed; fi

We wanted to use Lynx for opening URL from Linux machine.
