Did what you said and annoyingly Lynx this time linked to *both* the old
libncurses.so.4.2 in /lib and the newly compiled libncurses.so.5.0 in
/usr/lib, the result: Still no mouse support!

So now I have cruelly renamed the old libncurses.so.4.2 shared library into
oblivion and made a symlink of that name to libncurses.so.5.0 and
recompiled Lynx and now mouse support works!

Geez, why does it have to be so much trouble ;-)


Thanks for your help.
