oops, that's a debian-specific customisation that found its way into
the main code. I'll fix it in a couple of days, but until then, you
can configure which browser to use in any of three ways:

1. Environment Variables

If using bash, add to your .profile:

export SURFRAW_browser=browsername

then either log out and in again or source ~/.profile

2. System-wide surfraw config

Add to /etc/surfraw.conf, /usr/local/etc/surfraw.conf or
$PREFIX/etc/surfraw.conf:

def SURFRAW_browser browsername

3. Per-user surfraw config:

Add to ~/.surfraw.conf:

SURFRAW_browser=browsername


If you want to set separate browsers for graphical (-g) and text (-t) mode,
instead of setting SURFRAW_browser, set SURFRAW_text_browser and
SURFRAW_graphical_browser.

Ian.
