mutt 0.93.1 (S-Lang 1.2.2)

[amitai_(_dot_)_schlair_(_at_)_usa_(_dot_)_net (Amitai Schlair)]

I compiled and installed the latest S-Lang from
<URL:ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slang/slang1.2.2.tar.gz>. libslang.a
went into /usr/local/lib; and slang.h and slcurses.h went into
/usr/local/include.

Attempting to build mutt with S-Lang support, the configure script died
trying to compile a test S-Lang program. config.log says:

configure:1269: checking if I can compile a test SLang program
configure:1278: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c  -lslang -lm
-ltermlib 1>&5
ld: -lslang: no match
configure: failed program was:
#line 1271 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

int main() {
SLtt_get_terminfo ();
; return 0; }

I tried running ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib, but I'm guessing that
doesn't apply to libraries of type *.a, since ldconfig -r lists only
*.so. (What is the difference between the two?) I know the S-Lang "port"
installs the latter kind, but my own install of the latest version
didn't.

Any clues? I'd really like to see mutt working in color... :-)
