lynx-dev Problem compiling lynx-2.8.2 with ncurses in an unusual place

[Adrian Bunk]

Hi,

I had a problem compiling lynx-2.8.2 on a HP 9000/720 running HP-UX 10.20.
lynx didn't compile with curses (because of broken HP curses I think) and
it did compile when changing the library in the makefile after configuring
manually from curses to ncurses. But when I tried to configure lynx with
the --with-screen=ncurses I had the following error because our local
ncurses are under /usr/local/dist/lib/ (an unusual place). configure finds
ncurses (it prints the version), but it can't figure out where the library
is. I'm sorry if I missed an option, but I couldn't find one to solve my
problem.

configure says:
