Alexander, I was finally able to download and install the December 2001 Dev Tools. After which Fink installed Lynx just fine. I was concerned however when after the install I got a command not found error when trying to open a web site. Quitting Terminal then reopening another window and trying again worked.
I am curious to know what in my Terminal output keyed you on the fact that I had the older and not the latest Dev Tools? Thanks, George Spiese > From: "Alexander K.
