Hi tphz,
thanks for that detailed reply, i was looking into it already and possibly fail already in installing elinks:
- tried to upgrade my IPfire (since i read that elinks is included in later versions) but received error message:
CORE UPGR: Upgrading from release 128 to 131
meta-core-upgrade… 100.00% |=============================>| 964.00 B

DOWNLOAD ERROR: The downloaded file (os/Linux/distr/ipfire/pakfire2/2.21/paks/core-upgrade-2.23-131.ipfire) wasn’t verified by IPFire.org. Sorry - Exiting…
TIME ERROR: Unable to get the nettime, this may lead to the verification error.
- tried to get individual packfire package but seems no longer there (even after packfire update):
PAKFIRE WARN: The pak “elinks” is not known. Please try running “pakfire update”.
PAKFIRE ERROR: No packages to install. Exiting…
- started the attempt to install it from elinks homepage, download with wget successful but
a) upon ./configure of the extracted package i receive error
checking for aclocal… config/missing aclocal
checking for autoconf… config/missing autoconf
checking for autoheader… config/missing autoheader
checking for gnumake… no
checking for gmake… no
checking for make… no
checking for false… /bin/false
checking for “./features.conf”… yes
checking for “/home/elinks-0.11.7/features.conf”… yes
checking for gcc… no
checking for cc… no
checking for cl.exe… no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log’ for more details.
b) in IPFire documentation I found this page https://wiki.ipfire.org/devel/ipfire-2-x/addon-howto which suggests that this process is exceeding my current abilities (though I’m open for learning)
Ideally i could call for the old packfire package - but I am not sure how I could do this?
Second option would be to “fix” the error for packfire upgrade - would you have suggestions here how to overcome?
Thanks again
