LYNX-DEV Confused about the development version

[Larry W. Virden, x2487]

I am confused.

For the three or more patches available at
http://www.slcc.edu/cgi-bin/lynx/patch-o-matic.cgi
I've been either unable to get the code to compile or at least run.

What I've not been able to figure out is whether the problem is that
the Sun compiler and OS is just unique, or if perhaps the above URL
isn't the one that we should use to get the latest code.

Anyways, I fetched 0.28 of the development version.  I did a make clean
and then reran the configure and then a make generic.  This is Solaris 2.4
on a SPARC with Sun's compiler.  Here's the error I get.
