Re: [Lynx-dev] compile problem

[iohann]

i excerpted all "fatal error" messages from config.log

gcc: fatal error: no input files
configure:2294:28: fatal error: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory
configure:2385:28: fatal error: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory
configure:13842:17: fatal error: ssl.h: No such file or directory
configure:13894:17: fatal error: ssl.h: No such file or directory
configure:14068:17: fatal error: ssl.h: No such file or directory
configure:26272:23: fatal error: sys/filio.h: No such file or directory
configure:26272:19: fatal error: vfork.h: No such file or directory
configure:41414:25: fatal error: curses/term.h: No such file or directory

i find ssl.h at /usr/include/openssl/ssl.h

prior to compile, i had purged all lynx files from o/s. no lynx or 
lynx-related files on system.

any suggestions?

thanks for your time and interest.
