I built Lynx using the pkgadd from www.sunfreeware.com. It was a simple uncompress/pkgadd install. I do not have ncurses installed, unless it was packaged with the install program.
Any ideas on how to get the program working?

You can make it use Solaris' terminfo set setting the $TERMINFO variable, e.g., to /usr/share/lib/terminfo -- Thomas E.
