The path for gzip, is defined in userdefs.h and has to be adapted
to the system before compiling.

If you compiled Lynx yourself, you didn't read the documentation
that is necessary to read before installing.

If you are not responsible for that Lynx binary, then you have to talk
to whoever is.  They should recompile Lynx. (Or if they are lazy they
will just make a symlink from /usr/bin/gzip to /bin/gzip..).
