cannot get compiled lynx to work with https.

./configure --with-ssl
make
sudo make install

seems to go well. no error messages.
lynx installs at /usr/local/bin/lynx

yet, starting /usr/local/bin/lynx, then attempting to access https site 
fails with message: this client does not contain support for HTTPS URLs

i am running ubuntu 16.04.

"sudo apt-get install lynx"
works smoothly, installs at /usr/bin/lynx and permits access to HTTPS.

any suggestions?

thanks in advance for help.
