Completely guessing:

Is ./configure failing to find a valid browser?

Seeing config.log from running ./configure would help.

We probably need to revisit the list of browsers ./configure checks for.

Current checks are:

AC_CHECK_PROGS(TEXTBROWSER, lynx links2 links elinks w3m netrik)
AC_CHECK_PROGS(GRAPHICALBROWSER, iceweasel firefox google-chrome opera mozilla \
xombrero luakit safari epiphany-browser konqueror galeon kazenhakase \
conkeror dillo netscape chromium chrome)

Did I read somewhere that 'open' is how macs invoke their browser?
We should probably include xdg-open too.

cheers,

Ian.
