in cases like this i usually try to find the missing externals first
by simply doing "man gpm" or "man Gpm_Open" etc.  you can also "grep
-i gpm /usr/share/man/man3/* /usr/local/man/man3/*" and try to find
the man page like this.  if you find it, it usually contains a
section at the top specifying the #include and the -llib to use for
it.  lynx will almost certainly use the correct #include, but you can
help it by doing "LIBS=/where/the/lib/is ./configure ..." and try
again.

please tell us if this helps any.
