It appears that you are using a reasonable version of lynx to try to
compile for DOS. I suspect a problem with the way you have your
supplemental files integrated with lynx.  I would suggest starting from
scratch as follows: 
1. Unzip the archive using either unzip or "pkzip -d"
2. create a subdirectory of lynx2-7- called curses
3. create a subdirectory of lynx2-7- called djgpp
4. create a subdirectory of lynx2-7-/djgpp called tcplib
5. compile or place your compiled WATTCP library in
   lynx2-7-/djgpp/tcplib
6. compile or place your compiled PDCurses library in lynx2-7-/curses
7. change DJGPP.ENV back to your default 
8. edit userdefs.h.  You probably want to make trace log the default.
9. change to the lynx2-7-/WWW/Library/djgpp directory; from this
   directory type "make".  This should compile libwww.a.
10. change to the lynx2-7-/src/chrtrans directory; from this directory
    type "make -f makefile.dos".  This should make all the header files
    for chrtrans.
11. change to the lynx2-7-/src directory; from this directory type 
    "make -f makefile.dos". This should compile the lynx binary.  If it
    tests OK, type "strip lynx.exe" to make the binary smaller.
12. Be sure to edit lynx.cfg, to be compatible with DOS 8+3 naming.  You
    probably need to change .lynxrc to lynx.rc, .mime.types to _mime.typ,
    and .mailcap to _mailcap.
13. Remember that lynx_386 won't work without a packet driver.

If this doesn't work, let us know at what step it failed.  I am not at
my DOS machine as I write this, so I hope that I got the directory
structure correct from memory.  Good luck on getting it to work.
