I ran into the same problem while trying to install Lynx on a friend's
Win95 machine. Based on what I deduced then, I bet the directory it's
being run from has a space in it; if you have installed lynx as
"C:\Program Files\lynx\lynx.exe"
then Windows understands the space, but lynx thinks it's called
c:\Program and you want to look at "Files/lynx/lynx.exe" which it
tries to expand to http://www.files.[foo]/lynx/lynx.exe (where you
specify possible values for foo in lynx.cfg or at compile-time).
The quick fix:
Put it in a directory without a space in the name and this ought
go away.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. . .
Is there a clean way to fix this? If not, it should go into the
installation instructions in a Win32 section or something. For
that matter, I noticed that userdefs.h lists alternatives for
Unix and for VMS but doesn't mention which items one should change
for Windows.
