I'm trying to access a web page on a weekly schedule. I'm thinking a crontab file that launches Lynx would work. What do you think? Yes, no?
If it would work, does anyone know how to set Lynx up on Mac OSX? I'm not sure how to fix this:
"checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one"

I use lynx successfully. I think I pulled down the binary but in general, before you
can run "configure", you need to use/cp the customized guess.* stuff from /usr/libexec into the working directory.

I use the precompiled darwin version from www.darwinfo.org under the ports section with no probs at all. What's so hard about getting lynx to work?

Nothing at all. I downloaded the source and compiled it successfully first try. my unix experience is very limited, so it couldn't be too hard.

Well, I have Lynx installed and I set a line to load it weekly with the web page I need to access, but I'm getting the following error:
Terminal initialisation failed - unknown terminal type?
Your Terminal type is unknown!
Enter a terminal type: [vt100]
TERMINAL TYPE IS SET TO vt100
Any ideas on that?

Are you logging in remotely? Try using a different shell and reproducing the problem.
Also, when compiling apps:
cp /usr/libexec/config.* .
./configure
make
make install
