I believe the corresponding prog to ldd here is otool:

$ otool -L /usr/local/bin/slrn
/usr/local/bin/slrn:
	/sw/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 6.0.0, current version 6.0.0)
	/usr/local/lib/libslang.2.dylib (compatibility version 2.0.0, current version 2.0.7)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 71.1.4)

Yes.

How exactly can I check that? -- I can confirm that c_Ctrl-U
works in vim for example, in the shell etc., and, most
importantly, with slrn-9.8.1 compiled against slang1.

> does a redraw fix the display of slrn?

Yes. As I said in the mail *body*! ;)

Redrawing also works after the error message that is displayed in
a second line.

But when a slang *macro* throws an error it just is displayed
/somewhere/ on the screen and garbles the display (can be fixed
by manual redraw).

BTW, typing <space> starts a new line with indent, or, as I
realized when pasting the following with screen, maybe an
overlong line:

Pipe to command: less                                                                                                                         +G

Above was done by typing "|less +G" w/o quotes.

> does it happen in all prompts?

Yes. Well, at least in all the prompts I tried.
