Hello, I got the same problem on my iMac. Then I try to install on my MacBook Pro and it’s works. I copy the libraries from /opt/local/lib and I copy all the *.dylib in the same folder to my iMac. Then I compile and now it’s works

Use homebrew for installing these options. Never do manual making and compilation when the recipe is available via brew: http://brew.sh/

ding cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install… /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane… yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}… no
checking for working aclocal… missing
checking for working autoconf… missing
checking for working automake… missing
checking for working autoheader… missing
checking for working makeinfo… found
checking for gcc… no

Then I run “sudo make install” and get this:

sudo: make: command not found

Yepp! Make a keyboard shortcut to enable/disable javascript. I use it all the time, huge differanse in cpu usage. Specially when opening many tabs at the same time.

I guess you can get the same speed and low bandwidth by disabling Javascript (which usually triggers more loading) and blocking flash and videos. Firefox can do that with one or two plugins, and will still render the rest of the page correctly.

The names Lynx and Links can’t be used interchangeably. Other than both being web browsers and homophones, they’re unrelated.

For anyone who doesn’t want to deal with the Xcode overhang and compiling, Lynxlet makes it super simple to install Lynx on the Mac. Free, of course.

Nice tip! Not to be pedantic, but Links split from Lynx, so though everyone knows the name “lynx” this is technically “Links”.

Not that anyone will care
