The INSTALL.unx file is not geared towards any particular linux
distribution.  If you were to install slang from source, then this
issue would not arise.  It is only a problem because some linux
distributions have split off slsh into a separate package.  To better
deal with this issue I will add a note about this to the INSTALL.unx
file.

You are correct that structfuns.sl is not yet used by jed's library
files.  However, that is very likely to change.  Another file that is
used is glob.sl.  Once the slang profiler and debugger have been
integrated into jed, even more files will be required.

Let me repeat: An extra package is not required if you build slang
yourself from source.  It is needed only if you have chosen to make
use of a prepackaged version of the library where the library has been
split into multiple packages.

I hope this helps.
