lynx-dev Compiling GZIP on an Alpha with DEC C

[Deborah S. Kerner]

Hello,

I am trying to install Lynx on an Alpha server running OpenVMS 7.1.  The 
Lynx documentation indicates that I first need to download and install 
gzip.  I tried that but found that it would not compile properly using DEC 
C, even after I replaced a reference to SYS$LIBRARY:VAXCRTL.EXE with 
SYS$LIBRARY:DECC$CRTL.EXE.  I also downloaded a copy of GNU C (gcc), but it 
also looks for the VAX C (instead of the DEC C) run time library.

Does Lynx absolutely require the installation of gzip, and if so, where 
might I find a copy that will compile using DEC C?
