    Hey folks,

    I'm trying to get lynx working but getting an error.

    I downloaded the file from here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/lynxtextwebbrowser.html

    Followed the instructions in the read me and it appears to install fine. But when I try to launch it I get the following error:

    dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libssl.0.9.8.dylib
    Referenced from: /usr/bin/lynx
    Reason: image not found
    Trace/BPT trap


    On the Apple website it says that the minimum requirement is OSX 10.5.1, but I'm on 10.4.11... If I go to Software Update it doesn't give the option for any more updates for OSX :confused:

    Any clues?

    I'd probably start off with asking in the mac forum........

    Don't you have to pay to go from 10.4 (Tiger) to 10.5 (Leopard)?

    Dharma_King, thanks for that, I'll have a look at that when I'm on my laptop later.

    Onikage, yeah I realised that last night after I had posted this thread :( Ahh well. Cheers

    Download macports and get it through that. It will work.
