 The error occurs for www/lynx-ssl (and I guess the other lynx ports as well):
 
 sed     -e '/^HELPFILE:http/s!^!#!'  -e '/^#HELPFILE:file/s!#!!'  -e
 '/^HELPFILE:file/s!/PATH_TO/lynx_help!/home/users/whiter/apps/share/lynx_help!'
  -e
 '/^[A-Z_]*:/s!/PATH_TO/lynx_doc!/home/users/whiter/apps/share/doc/lynx!' 
 -e '/^HELPFILE:file/s!$!!'  -e '/^HELPFILE:file/s!$!!' 
 /home/users/whiter/apps/etc/lynx.tmp
 >/home/users/whiter/apps/etc/lynx.cfg.default
 cannot create /home/users/whiter/apps/etc/lynx.cfg.default: Permission denied
 *** Error code 2
 
 It's a problem that doesn't occur when installing as root, since root
 doesn't care about write permissions.
