I went over to a sun4 machine and tried
        CPPFLAGS=-I$HOME/slang/include \
        LIBS\-L$HOME/slang/lib \
        configure --with-screen=slang --prefix=$HOME
It configured and built fine.
Could it have something to do with the fact that you're loading an existing
cache?  Someone once told me to remove config.cache + soe other files before
configuring.
Could it also have something to do with the shell you're using?
i use ksh, which doesn't have a setenv command.
