I get these same warnings on both my Slink and Potato machines. I have
no problems with either machine.

As for the jed problem. You might try using the ldd command. It tells
you what libraries a library or executable is compiled against. eg:

gemini:pmiller:~\:$ldd /usr/bin/jed
        libslang.so.1 => /lib/libslang.so.1 (0x40011000)
        libgpm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1 (0x40058000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4005d000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40077000)
        libncurses.so.4 => /lib/libncurses.so.4 (0x4011c000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
gemini:pmiller:~\:$ldd /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4000a000)
        libncurses.so.4 => /lib/libncurses.so.4 (0x400af000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaaa000)

Hopefully this will point you to the offending library, and you can then
reinstall it. You will easily notice that a library is not found as it
tells you in the output of ldd.

Good luck,
