[parisc-linux] Re: slang.so problems

This still isn't solved.  If you install the slang1 and util-linux
from the archive, and do not install slang1-dev, then cfdisk will
not run:

slab:/usr/src/findutils-4.1.7# cfdisk

We are only getting away with this because the slang1_1.4.4.0.1-1_hppa.deb
in my install tree is hacked to provide libslang.so.
