I really like this client, but I get this error every time I open a link or comments:

  There is no lesskey-src=/var/folders/sv/<filename> option ("less --help" for help)
  Press RETURN to continue

Less version information:

  less --version
  less 581.2 (POSIX regular expressions)

`clx` depends on the latest version of `less` which at the moment is v 608. Can you update to the latest version and see if you still get the same error message?

You're right, updating to less v608 fixed the issue! Thanks a lot! Maybe you can add a check in clx and show a message, in case the version of less is too old?

For the record: less v581.2 is the one being shipped by macOS 12.6 Monterey, I simply updated with "brew install less"

Great! Thank you for letting me know! I should add a check and also update the brew formula to fetch the latest version of less as well.

my freebsd less is 563. stable debian is 551.

less 608 was releaseed september 2nd 2022...

this happens so often... i find a new cool cli tool, only for it to have a dependency on a newer version of something. so i can't use it until next OS upgrade, and by then, i've forgotten about it cause i never got to test it out.

i guess devs just don't use OS packages and compile every single tool they use?

i used to do that, when i used slackware in the '90s.
