It would be interesting to know which formats your mutt and your libslang have. They need to be the same, i.e. either elf or a.out. While you're trying to sort things out, you can grab ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/mutt/mutt-0.91. It somehow gets by without libslang, and at least you'll have mail until you find out what's going on.
