I located the rpm for the dependencies in question.  They are in
openssl.  However, when I went to install it, I got a conflict with an
older version of openssl.  I assumed I should uninstall the previous
version.  I tried this in gnorpm.  However, I got a bunch of warnings
that that version of openssl is being used by _alot_ of programs on my
system.  I was afraid to uninstall that version and install the newer
one because I figured I would break everything else. Would this be true?

As for version 1.1.7 of Balsa (which was already installed), I got it
working by "touch /var/spool/mail/amp".  However, when I click the
"Check" button in Balsa, a small dialog flashes on the screen and it
does nothing, i.e. no mail checked.  Also, it acts like it sends mail,
and it thinks it actually sent it, but I never receive the mail it
thinks it sent.

Thanks for any help.
