installing slang.h

I am in process of installing Linux clive bin and getting nowhere due to fact that when I try and run ./configure from the downloaded clive-0.4.15 dir I get

Code:
checking slang.h usability... no
checking slang.h presence... no
checking for slang.h... no
configure: error: slang.h not found

I have no experience of installing such pieces so if anyone can explain how to get around this in simple terms I would appreciate it.

yum whatprovides "*/slang.h"

Then
Code:
yum install package_name

I've had so many issues trying to install this that its proving nearly impossible for someone with no experience in installing such software. Is it worth trying to do so from scratch and what is your advice if I do. Thanks in advance
