Apparently you did not use the auto-config mechanism included,
you didn't run
      ./configure
or    ./configure --with-screen=ncurses
or    ./configure --with-screen-slang

So your compilation uses the older "Makefile" instead of a "makefile"
generated by configure.

I thought that should still continue to work at this point [right,
Tom?].  But the logic of the code hase changed, it now checks for
HAVE_KEYPAD instead of using NO_KEYPAD directly.  This doesn't seem to
work correctly with (at least some of) the old "Makefile" targets any
more.

HTUtils.h now has:
/* Accommodate pre-autoconf Makefile */
 ....
#ifndef NO_KEYPAD
#define HAVE_KEYPAD 1
#endif

It probably shouldn't do this if USE_SLANG is defined.

When Lynx is using slang, it should not use these keypad() symbols.
Or at least it hasn't up to now, if I understand correctly, and is
not using slcurses.h (repeating the definitions it needs in LYCurses.h
instead).  

For now to compile successfully with slang, you might try to

(a) remove the three lines quted above from
    WWW/Library/Implemetation/HTUtils.h, or
(b) add -DNO_KEYPAD to the target in Makefile, or
(c) just use `./configure --with-screen=slang', and then `make generic'.
