...no - the version was good enough for my to-do list. I'm currently
working on vile, and have backlog for lynx, xterm, diffstat, cdk, mawk (and
of course ncurses).

It sounds as if lynx is not finding the local configuration for openssl
certificates. This may help:

It's intentional: the configure script does give a warning,
and drops the feature. There is more than one way of handling
this situation (seriously - I get bug reports from people on
the ncurses list who ignore fatal errors from the configure
script, and only _report_ the compiler errors that stop them
completely).
