I have LYNX Text web browser installed on Suse 9.3 but can't seem to find the executable file to run it. I want to make a Menu Link for it but have not used this in awhile and forgot how. I used YAST and installed from the disk.
It won't work like that for me. If I put it in the Command prompt nothing happens, and if I enter it in Konsole it gives me a Lynx help page. I feel like the executable is elsewhere but can't find it.
I have looked around the Lynx site but the question is to basic evidently.
Yes it appears to be installed. I had put in 2 disks during the install through Yast. Today I went to yast and did online update and Lynx came up as one of the items available for update.
I not sure what the "locate" you refer to is. Is that a normal search for files?
Anyway I see the files you refer to but they assume you have it running and the problems that you have are after that. Nowhere does it give the simple information on how to run it.
If I type /usr/bin/lynx in the command prompt it just disappears with nothing else happening.
