Why are you so surprised to see sinners in church? Are you shocked to see sick people in a hospital too?

Did you uninstall the fink version?

probably: fink remove links or fink uninstall links

Once you get the old version uninstalled, try specifying the driver in the CLI, in this case X11:

links -g -driver x www.google.com

i installed with brew, but it says that Graphics not enabled when compiling.

I went back and tried to ./configure --help but it is saying No such file or directory.

can someone point out my obvious mistake please?

reply to nu2this
I was suggesting adding those options on the rebuild. This is how I compiled it for my box, to run under X11:

./configure --enable-graphics --with-x 
 

so sorry... brain fart... yes... i put it wrong... very new to this...

i tried that and No graphics drivers found.

Why are you so surprised to see sinners in church? Are you shocked to see sick people in a hospital too?

It looks like you're missing some graphics libraries, you'll need to install the dependencies before you can run it in graphical mode. A couple that stood out:

checking for svgalib... no
checking for X11/Xlib.h... no
checking for X11/X.h... no
checking for X11/Xutil.h... no
checking for X11/Xatom.h... no
checking for X11/Xlocale.h... no
checking for X11/keysymdef.h... no
checking for libpng/png.h... no
checking for jpeglib.h... no

You should be able to download them and install them from the link you provided earlier:
