 |
|
Hi!
I've just installed gentoo from scratch (stage1) and emerged lynx. When I start it, e.g. with
| Code: | | lynx http://www.heise.de |
I get the error-message
| Quote: | | Can't access startfile |
However,
and
| Code: | | wget http://www.heise.de |
and afterwards
work fine.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Harry. |

Sounds like something specific to lynx. I googled for a while and this seems to be a common problem, but there were no difinitive fixes that I found. It seemed to suggest a DNS lookup problem, but it doesn't appear to be the case here, unless lynx is doing something funky when it does a lookup.
I found a couple threads indicating that older versions of lynx don't suffer from this problem -- you might try to emerge a 2.7.x version to see if that fixes things...

I managed it by myself: the proxy settings were incorrect. Instead of
| Code: | | export http_proxy="some.proxy:3128" |
which works fine for wget, lynx requires a 'http://' in front:
| Code: | | exort http_proxy="http://some.proxy:3128" |
THX for any answers!
Harry. |
