configure balsa (suse 7.3 error)

[a Special guy <urgrue tumsan fi>]

i still get compile error on suse 7.3.
i have double and triple checked my libesmtp installation. even tried older version of libesmtp and balsa. i have run ldconfig and checked ld.so.conf and everything. i always get the same error, as reported by others:
checking whether to build ESMTP support... yes
checking for smtp_start_session in -lesmtp... no
configure: error: *** You enabled ESMTP but esmtp library is not found.

but looking at config.log, maybe its a problem with suse's pspell?
