Re: Help with 1.1.17

[Heber Farnsworth <FARNSWORTH olin wustl edu>]

I had this problem as well.  I'm on a RedHat linux system and I had only
installed the pspell libraries and needed the pspell development package as
well.  This package contains a symbolic link to libpspell.so.2.0.2 which is
called libpspell.so.  This is why configure can't find the library.  Adding
this symbolic link isn't enough to get balsa to compile though.  You need
the header files in /usr/include/pspell.  If you don't have those it won't
compile.

Hope this helps.
