I suspect so. I believe the one I snarfed was the "current version"
advertised by lynx.browser.org:
http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/release2-8-1/lynx2-8-1.tar.gz.

I have another problem with the configure script now that I am trying
to install 2.81 at my university (this time as a user without root
privs). The configure script dies when it discovers that gcc is broken
despite the fact there is a perfectly good ANSI cc in the PATH. It
seems to me this could be improved.
