Michel, I built lynx 2.8.4 rel.1 with the slang libraries when I built t slang 1.4.4 for Os/2. I wanted to see if the library was correct, and lynx was the only app I had that could use slang. As I recall, I had to do some modifications to get it to compile. First, the slang library is called libslang.a when built, but I beleive that lynx looks for slang.a. I also think that I had to hide ncurses from the compile, or it would try to use that even though I had used the slang flag in the configure script. > >on OS/2 ?

In addition to the above, there was no mouse support in the version I built, and the terminal type made a lot of difference in the way lynx behaved. I will be uploading a new slang package to hobbes and unix-os2 soon, just a repackaging of the version I previously built. It will be a little cleaner, and more in keeping with the unix directory structure. Good luck. Pat ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
