You might.

Recently someboy mentioned RedHat does not use /usr/local to install
most files, but /usr instead.

Anyway, gnomeConf.sh is in the package with gnome-libs, so you can
look whether v0.13 (I think that is the RH 5.1 gnome release; gnome is
now at 0.30) has that file. If so, you should be able to tell balsa
configure to look in /usr (or wherever), that is, call configure with
some of these options:
  --with-gnome-includes   Specify location of GNOME headers
  --with-gnome-libs       Specify location of GNOME libs
  --with-gnome            Specify prefix for GNOME files

(try ./configure --help to see what is possible, which is quite a lot.)

Good luck!
