I'm looking for a Elinks binary for Slackware 11.0 with OpenSSL (not
GNUtls) and Javascript support.
The reson why I want OpenSSL is because for some reason he one with
GNUTls give me SSl error (this is a long story, it was the same with
Debian and they use GnuTls for their binaries).
I add that I have tried to compile the original sources but I gave up
due to a long list of errors.

Thank you

What errors are you getting? It builds fine for me using js-1.60
(spidermonkey) and openssl-0.9.8...

Similar to when I was using Debian:
http://groups.google.com/group/linux...f21c34a8ff79db

In this case it onlys says: SSL Error

Browsing the elinks mailing list I got the impression that the error
was caused by GnuTls

Then, where did you get it? Or did you compile it yourself? Could you
make a package of it and upload it somewhere?
Thank you.

Yes, compiled it myself.

Sure:

You'll need both. js-1.60 is spidermoney, mozilla.org's javascript
engine. They are x86 Slackware packages. You should use installpkg or
pkgtool to install them...

Chris,

thanks for the packages.

Well, it works!
So I was right about the GNuTls, no more ssl errors. However a couple
of strange things:

1) It asked me to install the base X11 package, which is odd because
elinks is meant to be a ncurses browser.

2) It also asked me toinstall libidn (???)

3) Javascript support looks unstable. A simple "Enter site()" function
is ignored and displayed as "Harmless button" if I turn the javascript
errors on.

I had better luck with Elinks on FreeBsd. I think Elinks and Linux are
not a good combination.

That's my fault, I had X11 installed when I ran configure, which
(probably) looks for and links against libX11, if it finds it.

Same as above, the elinks configure script found libidn (which is I18N
stuff), and linked against it. Presumably...

That is a mystery, because if there's one thing you can say about
mozilla's javascript engine, it's that it's stable.

Do you know what javascript engine FreeBSD is using? Is it something
other than mozilla's spidermonkey?
