"It fails differently, but it fails" is too vague and doesn't help us to
understand what is going on. Why don't you try one way at a time and tell us
what happens each way? For instance, begin with "/helen1/isrd/bin/lynx282" as
SSL_DIR and show us where it fails.

Then it's version 0.94. I suggest you to replace in the SSL patch all

+ #include <ssl.h>

and

+ #include <crypto.h>

with

+ #include <openssl/ssl.h>

and

+ #include <openssl/crypto.h>

Then the problem is somewhere else. Change the includes in the patch, use
"/helen1/isrd/bin/lynx282" as the SSL_DIR and tells us what happens.

I don't think that is the problem. I never "install" lynx. Wherever I
compile lynx, I copy it manually to the /home/ismael/bin directory. I only
use "--libdir=$HOME" to tell lynx where to find lynx.cfg.
