Yep. I'd fixed it locally, but the fix never made its way into git.

If you don't want to wait for this week's update, you can easily apply
the fix yourself:

Edit elinks.SlackBuid. Change line 137 from this:

CFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS -L/usr/lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX" \

...to this:

CFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS -L/usr/lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX -DLUA_COMPAT_5_3" \

...or, you can checkout my branch from the git repo.

Thanks for spotting this!
