You might want to check the last lines of config.log in your build folder,
using the command

tail -20 config.log

which might give you more hints about what is missing. I remember that I had a
screwed up installation on one box where libpspell needed libdl, which was not
listed in the dependencies (note that this is a *system* setup problem, *not*
balsa's!). You can detect that kind of problem if the last lines in config.log
say that some "dl" related stuff could not be found... I fixed this by simply
opening the file configure and changing the line

LIBS="-lpspell  $LIBS"

to

LIBS="-lpspell -ldl $LIBS"

and re-running configure (note, again, that you might get similar problems
with other software).

Hth, Albrecht.
