"Lynx Version 2.8.8dev.8 (10 Jan 2011)

"# echo $LYNX_LSS
/etc/lynx.lss"


i get " lynx.lss" is not available.
^ that leading space looks suspicious to me.


from lynx_cfg.h --> #define LYNX_LSS_FILE "/etc/lynx.lss"

with this as the initial configuration parameter list:

"./configure -C --sysconfdir=/etc --sharedstatedir=/usr/local/share \
--localstatedir=/var/run --infodir=/usr/info --mandir=/usr/man \
--disable-largefile --disable-nls --with-ssl --with-gnutls \
--disable-htmlized-cfg --enable-local-docs --enable-default-colors \
--disable-alt-bindings --disable-file-upload --disable-idna \

--enable-long-list --disable-parent-dir-refs \
--with-lss-file=/etc/lynx.lss"


NOW:

when invoked with "lynx -lss=/etc/lynx.lss", works as expected.

any hints on my problem ...

I don't see the ralationship between $LYNX_LSS and LYNX_LSS_FILE. But prior
to running configure do you have such a env-var? I don't use auto* tools to
verify what's really going on. Look in your conf*.cache.

Just a wild guess; maybe there is some trailing space here:
test "$LYNX_LSS_FILE" = no && LYNX_LSS_FILE=

I don't get that message using your config.status, rather, I see this
if I run the resulting executable:

Lynx file "/etc/lynx.lss" is not available.
