I am trying to build the latest Lynx on BeOS professional 5.0.
I can't get configure to locate the curses header files:

configure ---with-screen=ncurses
It got a bit further, thanks, but configure bombs out linked against
ncurses:
checking for ncurses version... no
checking for Gpm_Open in -lgpm... no
checking for initscr... no
checking for initscr in -lncurses... no
configure: error: Cannot link ncurses library
So I did:
configure --with-screen=ncurses --with-curses-dir=/usr/local
and now configure ran OK. Trying make (cross fingers).
Two suspicious messages from configure:
....
checking for library with inet_addr... no
configure: warning: Unable to find library for inet_addr function
you're going to run into problems with BeOS here, since its socket
interface isn't compatible with anything. I've seen some reference to a
patched network library for BeOS, but was unable to find a copy that might
work (recalling only that I found some code that could never have worked
;-).
I've a BeOS R4.5 with a workable network interface (and lynx won't connect
via that) and a BeOS 5.0 - but no workable network interface. (Since it's
one of 15 OS's on the same box, I'm reluctant to change the hardware
around at random to search for a workable network card...).
....
/bin/basename: too few arguments
Try `/bin/basename --help' for more information.

this could be a scripting error
../configure: test: =: unary operator expected
and this too
checking for ncurses version... no
