Re: Trying to build on Mint 20 ... [msg2mw gmail com]

libenchant-2.so.2.2.15 or similar is just the shared library that can be used to execute balsa but insufficient to compile. enchant.pc is typically a part of a 'dev' package containing configuration, header files, and sometimes some configuration. The dev package is called libenchant-2-dev on Ubuntu.

Sorry, I thought I did that. Here they are. It seems to be looking for 
"enchant.pc" -- as far as I can tell, I don't have that (or I don't 
know where to look for it).

configure:14357: $? = 1
configure:14371: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors " enchant != 1.6.1 
"
Package enchant was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `enchant.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'enchant' found
configure:14374: $? = 1
configure:14388: result: no
No package 'enchant' found
configure:14404: error: Package requirements ( enchant != 1.6.1 ) were 
not met:

No package 'enchant' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables SPELL_CFLAGS
and SPELL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
