I removed it before I continued with your recommended sequence of
commands and it failed again in the same way as per below...

The url is http://pkgsrc.org.  The link is named: Slackware Linux with
pkgsrc Packages.  I realise RHEL may be different but the reference
seemed to be general.

I got to the second command.  Here's the tail of the output: 

checking for SSL_get_version in -lssl... yes
checking for openssl include directory... no
checking if we can link to ssl library... no
configure: error: Cannot link with ssl library
*** Error code 1

Stop.
bmake: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/www/lynx
===> 
===> There was an error during the ``configure'' phase.
===> Please investigate the following for more information:

===>      * /usr/pkgsrc/www/lynx/work/.work.log
===> 
*** Error code 1

Stop.
bmake: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/www/lynx

This is the same as before.  

Sincerely,

P.S. How do I contribute to the NetBSD on laptops thingy I saw on your
website.  I tried FreeBSD but it seized up quicksmart---not even 5
seconds into the boot.  FreeBSD has been fine except that the gnustep
metapackage failed on the last package build!  I'm using 2.1 in this
instance by the way.
