On this machine here, that's where they are, and lynx compiles ok, and
can use https ok.

That should be, or at least is likely better to be:
--enable-nls \
Your original post iirc has it correct; so the '.' may be a typo that you're
carrying through the posts; but if you're actually issuing that on the
configure command line, then I'd guess you're likely to hit a bump somewhere.
Also, just to be on the safe side, leave a space before the '\' .
> --with-ssl\
Again, just to be on safe side - especially if you're trying to debug an
apparently-weird error - leave a space before the '\', thus:
--with-ssl \
Yes, it "shouldn't" be needed, &c&c; but that's not the point here.

As well as blfs book, you might want to cross-check against e.g.:

* ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/slackware/slackware64-14.1/source/n/lynx/
*
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/slackware/slackware64-14.1/source/n/lynx/lynx.SlackBuild

; a slightly older version of lynx, but still may be worth looking at how
it's done there.

In your email program, do you have an option to 'indent replies ...' and with
a 'prefix' such as '> '? If so, I'd really recommend enabling those, testing
it out so that you see how it works, and keeping it switched on. Otherwise,
your successive posts in a thread become increasingly entagnled [sic!] with the
contents of previous ones: which in turn makes it difficult for folks to
understand - or indeed see what is the difference between one post and the
next (like for your two posts within the past hour or two); and thus make
it increasingly difficult for folks to try to help you.
