Re: [Lynx-dev] Lynx does NOT default to https support

[LarryL]

Hi,
I just installed MacPorts and external libraries OpenSSL or GnuTLS are  
still foreign to Lynx.
Q1: Does Lynx need to be recompiled using './configure --with-ssl  
--with-gnutls --enable-gnutls-compat'?

Q2: What's the tried-n-true way to uninstall Lynx on OS X, then?
Wishing you a happy day!
