Of course I trust you and very willing to fix this thing, but problem is
outside the port. Just renaming DOCDIR variable to something else in lynx
makefile will be short term solution, but lynx and other makefiles too
often use names like DOCDIR, LIBDIR, etc. so too many ports are affected
by this environment bug. To test this thing please add echo $DOCDIR into
install-doc lynx makefile target, i.e.
install-doc:
echo XXXXXXX ${DOCDIR} XXXXXX
[... rest of install-doc ...]
if echo will produce something else than /usr/local/share/lynx_doc you
have DOCDIR set in your environment which overwrite makefile setting, not
for lynx makefile only but for each and every makefile which have bad luck
to use DOCDIR variable.
I can log into your machine and typing building command you give me
inspect this situation by myself (because I can't reproduce it on my
machine).
