I'm not familar with Red Hat but try the following.

1. look which libslang installed on your system

  ls -l /lib/libslang.so.*

  results something like
  
  /lib/libslang.so.1.4.9
                   ----- version number

2. make a soft link to the most recent version

  cd /lib/
  ln -s libslang.so.1.4.9 libslang.so.1

Then it should work.
