You do not have slang or slsh properly installed on your system.  jed
depends upon the library files distributed with slsh; require.sl is
one of them.  In order for jed to find those files, it checks the
value of the slang intrinsic variable _slang_install_prefix.  So if
the value of that variable is wrong, then jed will not be able to
discover where to find the slsh library files.

The directory tree of a proper slang installation will look something
like

    lib/                            (libslang.so)
    lib/slang/v2/modules/           (png-module.so, ....)
    share/slsh/                     (require.sl, ....)
    share/slsh/rline/               (slang readline editing functions)
    share/slsh/cmaps/               (color maps)
    share/slsh/local-packages/
    etc/slsh.rc
    bin/slsh

rooted at the value of _slang_install_prefix.

Do you have slsh installed?  If so, does it startup cleanly?  If it is
properly installed, you can use it to obtain the value of the
_slang_install_prefix:

   slsh> _slang_install_prefix

I hope this helps.
