Well, I got the compile done by making a libXi.so link (and 2 others). 
I also realized that ld doesn't use the cache file created by ldconfig
(that's for runtime linking, the library paths for ld are also set on
the command line).

There were several other libraries named and they didn't have any
problems (luckily) but I didn't look to see whether they had .so links. 
A random look at libraries showed that a few did and most didn't.

Matt suggested that I should run ldconfig after making a new link.  I
don't think I did and the program ran fine, but I might have in the
course of playing around.

Unfortunately the ldconfig man page doesn't really explain what it
does--at least in the detail needed for this question.  Guess I'll have
to look at the source some day.

Yay!  Glad to hear it.

In case it's helpful another time, the "template" option will let you
specify how %s should be written (in this case %s.html) so that you don't
have to get mean to your browser :-)

Ain't it great? :-)

My version of lynx indents the text output, which is no big deal, but
can be fixed pretty easily by piping through sed and stripping the
leading 3 space characters:

text/html;/usr/local/bin/lynx -localhost -force_html -nolist -dump %s | sed 's/^   //'; copiousoutput;

Cheers,
