Indeed, my ubuntu does not have them nor there is any
indication in INSTALL.unx that they are needed. There is no
such indication anywhere. And actually, they can be
dispensed with:

(1) Let jed's configure detect the SLang library in /lib.
    Why should additional libraries be required for this?

(2) Duplicate the essential modules from slsh's lib
    to jed's lib in the jed package.

Duplicating stuff is not good style? It's not a matter of style,
it's a matter of convenience.

The only module that has to be duplicated seems to be
require.sl. As an example, there is not one single call from
the entire jed's lib to functions in structfuns.sl. So in
order to get that one file of 1303 bytes users have to
install extra libraries?


Thanks.
