It's not "my build" that "ran into the problem with touchline". Since Klaus
said that the problem "apparently doesn't apply to most installations", I
decided to try to compile Lynx with no changes on its default settings, just
using "./configure" and "make", what means that the configure script uses
curses. That's when the problem with touchline appeared. Here's part of my
message to Klaus:
