Yeah it was the all patch, but I commented out
#SOCKSLIB= /usr/local/lib/libsocks.a
#SOCKSLIB= -lsocks
I thought that would disable it, but after you wrote me i found a
reference to sockes in SITE_DEFS I deleted it, and retryed make, but I got
the same error

The DNSforking was the reason I got the all patch I wanted SSL and the
ability to abort nameserver lookups.
How can I get it to work now? Do I have to comment out some lines in
HTTCP.o or redownload the whole lynx2-6 file and copy HTTCP.o from it?
Thanks for your help,
