my *guess* is that elinks's configure script looks in all likely places.. and this includes the /usr/local tree. > I still don't understand how /usr/local came into this--Debian > packages should not store anything relevant under there.

I did a: $ find ../spidermonkey/js -name libjs.so -print .. and sure enough the lib is part of the sm tarball.. and the exact same size as the one in /usr/local/lib (550,952 bytes). Now, since prior to make-ing spidermonkey I set the $PREFIX to /usr/local - as specified in ecmascript.text, I would assume that this caused all binaries that come with sm to be eventually installed in the /usr/local tree.. including the libjs lib. > > In any case, have fun with ECMAScript! > Well.. that was pretty much what I was wondering earlier.. now it's installed what good is it..? I mean in the real world.. I would imagine that it should be transparent.. Stuff that didn't work before should now work. I should have kept my prior version of elinks some place.. continued using that until I ran into a "js disabled" problem and switched to this version to see the difference. It's really very late over here so I just can't think of any site where I tried to access some gadget-y link and got denied with the previous version. But as far as I can tell most pages seem to use js to add some gimmicky rendering stuff that's not compatible with a text mode browser anyway.. so I'm not so sure it's really going to make much difference.
