sunfreeware dependancy problems

I'm fairly sure I know I'm doing things properly this time, but after
installing just a few packages I'm having some issues. Even after
installing all packages required by jed as prescribed by sunfreeware I
have the following situation:


$ jed
ld.so.1: jed: fatal: libslang.so.1: open failed: No such file or
directory
Killed

$ ldd `which jed`
libslang.so.1 => (file not found)
libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
libm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libm.so.1
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
libmp.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.2

# find / -name "libslang*" -print
/usr/local/lib/libslang.a
/usr/local/lib/libslang.so
/usr/local/lib/libslang.so.2
/usr/local/lib/libslang.so.2.0.7


Stranger still is the midnight commander package. mc crashes and dumps
core when I run it, but ldd shows a healthy list of dependancies.

Are such problems normal with sfw?

Any advice on how to proceed will be much appreciated.
