i excerpted all "fatal error" messages from config.log

gcc: fatal error: no input files
configure:2294:28: fatal error: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory
configure:2385:28: fatal error: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory
configure:13842:17: fatal error: ssl.h: No such file or directory
configure:13894:17: fatal error: ssl.h: No such file or directory
configure:14068:17: fatal error: ssl.h: No such file or directory
configure:26272:23: fatal error: sys/filio.h: No such file or directory
configure:26272:19: fatal error: vfork.h: No such file or directory
configure:41414:25: fatal error: curses/term.h: No such file or directory

i find ssl.h at /usr/include/openssl/ssl.h

prior to compile, i had purged all lynx files from o/s. no lynx or lynx-related files on system.

any suggestions?

thanks for your time and interest.

attempting to compile Lynx Version 2.8.8rel.2 (09 Mar 2014)

./configure --with-ssl --with-tls

./configure runs without error
make runs without error
make install runs without error

however, this does not produce Lynx with https capability. error message
indicates: "This client does not contain support for HTTPS URLs"

Any suggestions?
It helps to read the output of configure, which tells what it found.
If there's no development library for openssl, not much happens...
Try: ./configure --with-ssl=/path/to/openssl

(I don't see a '--with-tls' option in './configure --help')
There probably won't be:

   (a) there are few implementations to choose from, and
   (b) their developers have chosen to make their interfaces incompatible
