Should I post a package of these libraries for use with Opera in BL3?

(There are also unrelated lib*.so.2 libraries from BL3: libext2fx,
libtermcap, libcom_err.)

Installing the BL3 icewm package provides all the needed X libraries.

Is JP's links2 for BL2/svgalib ssl-capable? If so, I will also get that
working because my friend really likes using the arrow keys to navigate in
links, and 'q a TAB' are too much for him in Opera.

Please _do_ put together a package of needed libs for running Opera in BL3, along with instructions for installing it. One thing BL3 will definitely need in order to be appealing to many these days is a full-fledged graphical browser. Thanks for puzzling out how to run one.

As for JP's links2, he did compile a version that was ssl-capable. Statically compiled, IIRC. I also seem to recall it was labelled "ssl" somewhere. But this may not solve your friend's problem: I tried this version of links2 with my bank and it wouldn't work because the website was detecting browsers by name and wouldn't let a browser without the proper name interact with the secure server. You may run into the same problem: browser is capable, but it is disallowed because not used/known widely enough.
