For Elinks gopher support one needs to compile from source with the gopher option (it's not on by default).
brew on osx doesn't download and compile the last 0.12 beta version (which includes gopher support). after: "brew upgrade elinks" it says: "elinks-0.11.7 already installed"
In the latest Ubuntu does install 0.12pre6 but it doesn't open gopher urls.
Elinks documentation says:
"It is still very experimental and the CSO phone-book protocol is not implemented. Default: disabled"

Lynx works out of the box though, but I prefer elinks as it is the last (to my knowledge) updated console browser and it has features like ipv6, scripting and some javascript support.
One can always use OverbiteFF plugin or use the gopher proxies.
