You didn't upgrade lynx then.  The lynx which comes with RedHat 6.0 is
linked against libslang.so.1, which also comes with RedHat 6.0.  Either
upgrade lynx or recompile the one you have.

Somehow, RedHat managed to break vi-mode in bash.  You might want to fill
out a bug report (see http://developer.redhat.com/bugzilla/) if there's not 
already one filed.
