First, the mv -f always fails the first time you install lynx
in a new directory, because no previous lynx executable exists there.
Second, the install command shouldn't fail if you have built the lynx
executable.  If you are building lynx2-7-1, you need to type "make target"
for one of the supported targets.  To see all the targets available, type
"make" with no args.
