        This is an installation question, and the relevant, and correct,
information is in the INSTALLATION file, supplemented by userdefs.h and
lynx.cfg.  All three files are accessible to ***ANYONE and EVERYONE***
via Subir's "Lynx links" service, should anyone not have local copies
of them from the distribution.

        Rather than correcting the misinformation which has been posted,
perhaps it would be best for those who don't know this information to
read the files which provide it.

        Just at thought...  :) :) :)
