In the same case, I replaced the lynx in the Raq4 for the lynx in the Raq 3 and all works ok. 

I dont know if a better solutions, but it work for fine me.

(make a backup of lynx in the Raq4 first)

I have a php script I used to run from a cron job by using this command:

/usr/bin/lynx -dump http://www.oneofmysites.org/daily.php >/dev/null

I just upgraded to a Raq4 and the same will not work.  I get:

Your terminal lacks the ability to clear the screen or position the
cursor.

I see on the web it has to do with the way lynx is compiled, but I do
not see any work around that won't require me to recompile lynx.  I am
running php 4.1.2 from pkgmaster.  Is there another way to run this
script that I don't know? The script actually has no screen output.  It
makes simple checks for new posts to a website and e-mails me once a day
if there are any.

Thanks,
