That should work.  What does `slrn --version` produce?

Does the following slsh script work for you?  It shows 256 foreground
colors for each of 256 background colors.
Thanks, --John

#!/usr/bin/env slsh
require ("slsmg");

define define_256_colors (bg)
{
   _for (0, 255, 1)
     {
	variable fg = ();
	slsmg_define_color (fg, "color$fg"$, "color$bg"$);
     }
}

define sigint_handler (sig)
{
   slsmg_reset_smg ();
   exit (1);
}

define slsh_main ()
{
   signal (SIGINT, &sigint_handler);
   slsmg_init_smg ();
   variable fg, bg;
   _for bg (0, 255, 1)
     {
	define_256_colors (bg);
	_for fg (0, 255, 1)
	  {
	     slsmg_gotorc (fg/16, 4*(fg mod 16));
	     slsmg_set_color (fg);
	     slsmg_write_string (sprintf ("%02X%02X", fg,bg));
	  }
	slsmg_refresh ();
	sleep (1);
     }
   slsmg_reset_smg ();
}
