Apparently between the time 2.2.5-R was released there was a update (I'm assuming since the mod time at the Master Site is 971124 ,etc; which is after the release of 2.2.5) lynx. I was able to build Lynx from the ports by making the following changes to the Makefile [NOTE: the only changes were to DISTNAME, PKGNAME and MASTER_SITE]: # New ports collection makefile for: lynx # http://sol.slcc.edu/lynx/current/ # Version required: 2.7.1ac # Date created: 15 Dec 1994 # Whom: ache # # $Id: Makefile,v 1.71 1997/11/24 19:35:30 ache Exp $ # DISTNAME= lynx2.7.1ac-0.97 PKGNAME= lynx-2.7.1ac-0.97 CATEGORIES= www MASTER_SITES= ftp://sol.slcc.edu/pub/lynx/current/ MAINTAINER= ache@FreeBSD.ORG WRKSRC= ${WRKDIR}/lynx2-7-1 GNU_CONFIGURE= YES CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-screen=ncurses --with-zlib --libdir="${PREFIX}/etc" MAKEFILE= makefile MAN1= lynx.1 .include <bsd.port.mk> You'll probably have to build lynx with the following option: make NO_CHECKSUM=yes install This worked for me on a fresh install on a 'virgin' hard drive. Hope this helps. - burton - PS: If you're not familiar with building applications from the ports collection, just cd /usr/ports/www/lynx and execute the above make command as root (as long as you have installed the ports collection :-) ).
