yes, that works fine.

This probably make sense, but it is not enough when using
LYNX_SCREEN_LIB=curses. The problem is that on IRIX 5.3
/usr/include/curses.h includes unctrl.h. A file of that name is installed with
ncurses and again includes ncurses.h, so both curses.h and ncurses get
included. To prevent this, one has to use -I/usr/include before
-I${LOCALBASE}/include in order for the system unctrl.h to be used.
I enforced this by specifying CC with -I/usr/included added. A more elegant
solution (+ suggestion how to integrate it into pkgsrc) would of course
be appreciated.
