that's where I chickened out because there is already a file by
that mane. I had installed spidermonkey which is a Debian
package when building elinks so it is really there already and I
think that edbrowse found it since the first errors seem to be
related to things that aren't as they should be according to
what edbrowse is expecting. If I change the link, this will
more than likely break elinks next time it runs.

The libsmjs.so file is probably contained in a library package.

Ok, I don't have access to a new enough system to tell (hate not having my PC here), but you can find it by doing:

dpkg --search /usr/lib/libsmjs.so

Whichever lib package it's in, it probably has an associated lib*-dev package. If it's not installed, try installing it and seeing if you get any further with your compilation.

Failing that, you might want to try linking your lib to /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/lib and making sure that /usr/local/lib is in /etc/ld.so.conf. This *shouldn't* break your other program, but you might have fun when you go to compile it next time.

good luck,
Geoff.
