This indicates an slsh/slang install problem.  If you run slsh using
`slsh -v', what do you see?  Do you have other slsh or slang variables
set in your environment?  

When you installed slang, did you specify where you wanted it to go.
The INSTALL.pc file in the slang distribution says:

#v+
  For example, from a CMD window, a mingw32 version may be built and
  installed using a simple 3-step process:

   1.    C:\path\to\slang> mkfiles\m32init.bat
   2.    C:\path\to\slang> mingw32-make
   3.    C:\path\to\slang> mingw32-make install

  The first step will generate makefiles for mingw32.  In particular, it
  will create a top-level makefile that contains the locations where the
  library and its components will get installed.  Before, going on to
  step 2, it is a good idea to look at the makefile and edit it if
  necessary.
#v-

If you look at the top-level makefile that m32init.bat creates, you
will see that it contains two variables:
#v+
  PREFIX = /mingw/local
  CONFDIR = /mingw/local/etc
#v-

This means that slsh will get installed under /mingw/local/bin, and
the slsh library files (require, cmdopt, etc) will get placed under
/mingw/local/share/slsh/, which is where slsh will look for its
library files.  Also when slsh starts up, it will read slsh.rc from
the CONFDIR location, and then load other files from there.

I hope this helps.
