Just renaming DOCDIR variable to something else in lynx makefile will be short term solution, but lynx and other makefiles too often use names like DOCDIR, LIBDIR, etc. so too many ports are affected by this environment bug. To test this thing please add echo $DOCDIR into install-doc lynx makefile target, i.e. install-doc: echo XXXXXXX ${DOCDIR} XXXXXX [... rest of install-doc ...] if echo will produce something else than /usr/local/share/lynx_doc you have DOCDIR set in your environment which overwrite makefile setting, not for lynx makefile only but for each and every makefile which have bad luck to use DOCDIR variable. I can log into your machine and typing building command you give me inspect this situation by myself (because I can't reproduce it on my machine). -- Andrey A.
