Sounds like some tweaking is in order no matter what.  I'm a slackware
dude so will be doing as much source building as possible.  I already
installed Spidermonkey but for Elinks and it is basically patched for
elinks in its own hierarchy. Humm, I wonder if I will need to install JS
separtely for edbrowse.  Thanks for the warnings though.  It sounds like
I'll have to step carefully through the maze to get it all working.  I
hope it is worth the effort:).
