lynx-dev Linux/ncurses/Lynx 2.8 no-bold links

[Dennis Reichel]

Hi,

This included email describes a problem that I and at least
one other person have had.  I built the lynx with as many default
options as possible.  Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks, Dennis Reichel

Hello Leigh, 

I have had the same experience - all links (including currently
selected one are highlighted.  HAve you solved this problem?
I'm using the same version kernel, and my system is based on
slackware, gcc 2.7.2 but I am not using X-Windows.

I found that I needed to change makefile a bit though to get
a compile. ( -lcurses became -lncurses )  Otherwise all the 
configuration options were default.

Thanks, Dennis Reichel
