Yes, I've done that too. No cigar. I've tried both with a full path, and
with ~isrd. It fails differently, but it fails.

Ah, it's 0.9. something from August 1999. The OpenSSL site had it named as
the latest. It compiled with no problems just a few days ago.

pwd yields:
/helen1/isrd/bin/lynx282

ls yields:
bin/      include/  lib/      ls.txt    openssl/  pwd.txt

PS: I put the 'ls' and 'pwd' output in .txt files -- just to close this
question! <grin>

It sounds like the only thing I'm doing differently is that I'm compiling
from a different directory and asking for the executable to be placed in
~isrd/bin/lynx282. Otherwise, it sounds the same.

I'm compiling from ~isrd/bin/tmp/lynx2-8-2.
