Yes you can. The most recent version is 2.7.1(f), but I have found there is
some bugs in this version. However, a version 2.7 is ok.

By the way, if you ftp it from ftp://www.slcc.edu and then install it to
the server and then use it on the server without the permission of your
ISP, be warned your behavior is illegal according to China's law!

You may download the source code for Lynx version 2.7.1, plus patches,
at www.slcc.edu/lynx/fote. You may also find that there's a binary
version of Lynx compiled for your specific OS platform available for
download at www.crl.com/~subir/lynx/bin.

Good luck.

Personally I think restricting the Internet is a BAD idea, but I'd
hate for you to be sent to prison for following our advice.

Also, I wonder why his system is missing "make".  Perhaps they've removed
all the tools necessary for compiling, such as the C compiler.

If the compiler is still around, he can download GNU make from ftp.gnu.org
or any GNU mirror sites.

I'm not so sure.  The build and installation procedures of GNU make are,
you guessed it, written in make.  So you need some sort of make to
bootstrap it.

One vague possibility, however.  Check your path.  The default path
under Solaris, for example, does NOT include make, even when it is
installed.  You might try comparing the output of:

    echo $PATH
    getconf PATH

If the latter contains anything that isn't in the former, add it.
