Have you tried porting it again?

I don't believe this does anything.  You need to specify some library
directories.

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.
