I did it similarly but without --disable-shared. The thing is that pkg-config  
searches  /usr/lib at the end, before the PKG_CONFIG_PATH. If gmime 2.0.x is  
installed there (as it was in my case) its gmime-2.0.pc gets picked not the  
2.1.x which is needed. Maybe I'm wrong. I used Steffen's advice that is I  
debian's gmime packages and installed gmime-2.1 in /usr/local, then everything  
compiled. Now I can lay my hands on Balsa 2.1. Thanks everyone for help!
