Notice: libsmjs-dev you mentioned isn't present anymore (see
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/x/xulrunner/current/changelog
for the transition), the development files are in libmozjs-dev now.
The elinks_javascript.diff patch I attached to this mail works
around this problem.

So, hack until JS support is included in the official Debian
package:

sudo apt-get install libmozjs-dev libgnutls13 libgnutls-dev
sudo apt-get build-dep elinks
cd /tmp
apt-get source elinks
cd elinks-0.11.1
patch -p1 < ../elinks_javascript.diff
sed -i 's/--without-spidermonkey//' debian/rules
dch -i
fakeroot debian/rules binary
sudo dpkg -i ../elinks_0.11*.deb

regards,
