This is a redhat enterprise from source rebuild (scientific linux).

The slang that I'm building against is that distributed with ciao 3.4. I 
configure using:

export FC=g77
./configure --with-cfitsio=$HEADAS --with-pgplot=$HEADAS 
--with-headas=$HEADAS \
--with-slang=/data/soft3/cxc/v3.4/linux/ots/slang 
--with-atomdb=/data/soft3/atom
db/v1.3.1/ --prefix=/data/soft3

(sorry for the poor wrapping).
