Just a quick note to say that the fix for not having transparent backgrounds work with Lynx and Eterm turned out to be something incredibly obvious to most, but not to the average newby: --with-screen=slang I realized soon after my first post that without this I was compiling in the default curses support, not ncurses. Apparently, this does not support Eterm transparent BG color, etc. Here is my full commandline for any others who may have run into this. I'm using Mandrake 7.0: ./configure --enable-read-eta --enable-justify-elts --enable-prettysrc --enable-underlines --enable-font-switch --libdir /etc --bindir /bin -enable-default-colors --with-screen=slang I also got tripped up by the default installation bin diretory being /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin. For a while I actually had a working copy installed in /usr/bin and an older compile in /usr/local/bin/ was getting in the way. I used full paths and /usr/bin/lynx worked. Ran make uninstall soon after to clear older compile out, started a new window to refresh the bin paths, otherwise keeps trying to find /usr/local/bin/lynx first. Anyway, just wanted this "fix" documented for other new comers. Gotta love lynx!
