How to install links with graphics


I did "apt-get install links", but when I try to run "links -g" it gives me "Graphics not enabled when compiling". How can I get graphics enabled?

I don't know about Debian, but Ubuntu provides two Links packages: links (which only supports text mode) and links2 (which supports both text and graphics modes). Try installing links2.

Code:
alucard@karrde:~$ apt-cache search -n links
drbdlinks - Manages symlinks into a shared DRBD partition
elinks - advanced text-mode WWW browser
elinks-lite - advanced text-mode WWW browser (lite version)
klinkstatus - web link validity checker for KDE
links - Character mode WWW browser
links-ssl - Dummy package for transition to elinks
links2 - Web browser running in both graphics and text mode
symlinks - scan/change symbolic links
