This doesn't happen to me. When I call it (with another URL), a buffer
*lynx* is opened and scrolls through the HTML page. No error is shown.
Which Emacs version do you use? Are you on a local directory in eshell,
or on a remote one? Running the command on a remote directory returns in
an error for me as well.

"C-h i g (eshell) <RET>" works for me. It isn't complete, 'though.
