The problem is not whether elinks is built with gopher support or not,
but whether /etc/elinks/elinks.conf has these lines:

,----
|       ## protocol.user.gopher.unix <str>
|       set protocol.user.gopher.unix = "lynx %u"
|       ## protocol.user.gopher.unix-xwin <str>
|       set protocol.user.gopher.unix-xwin = "lynx %u"
