[Lynx-dev] -cfg does not work

[Eduardo Chappa]

Hello,

  I am currently using lynx 2.8.6rel1, and I run into the following 
problem.

  My home directory was until yesterday in a machine which set the home to 
/rc04/d16/chappa. Today that changed to /rc12/d12/chappa. Lynx complains 
when I start that

Configuration file 
"/rc04/d16/chappa/scratch/lynx/lynx2-8-6.1/etc/lynx.cfg" is not available.

but even when I start it as

lynx -cfg="~/scratch/lynx/lynx2-8-6.1/etc/lynx.cfg"

it still replies with the above message. Running strings on lynx shows 
that the path of its configuration file is set in the binary:

$ strings lynx | grep rc04
/rc04/d16/chappa/scratch/lynx/lynx2-8-6.1/etc/lynx.lss
/rc04/d16/chappa/scratch/lynx/lynx2-8-6.1/etc/lynx.cfg
"/rc04/d16/chappa/scratch/lynx/lynx2-8-6.1/etc/lynx.cfg"
"/rc04/d16/chappa/scratch/lynx/lynx2-8-6.1/etc/lynx.lss"

Does this mean that every time that my home directory is moved, that I 
will need to rebuild lynx?

Thank you for your consideration.
