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
