I'm also clueless, but I just build the slang and lynx packages on a pmax
today and I have:

sy-borg# ls -la /usr/pkg/lib/libslang*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  653444 Apr 25 12:08 /usr/pkg/lib/libslang.a
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      15 Apr 25 12:08 /usr/pkg/lib/libslang.so ->libslang.so.1.2
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      15 Apr 25 12:08 /usr/pkg/lib/libslang.so.1->libslang.so.1.2
-rw-r--r--  1 bin   bin    549853 Apr 25 12:08 /usr/pkg/lib/libslang.so.1.2


maybe you need the libslang.so link?  Of course I don't know why it
wouldn't work with the .a one.....

You might be able to look at one of the log files generated by 'configure'
and see what failed, ie why did configure think it wasn't there.
