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:

`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"

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.
