Hi Jack,

Sorry for the late reply.  I was distracted by other problems.

usr/local/bin & usr/local/sbin are right at start of PATH

That gives a long list.
The libraries seem to be all appropriately redirected.

The only files under /usr/local/ are from Balsa.
(Mageia normally doesn't install anything there.)
There are a lot of Balsa files under /usr/local/share/.
That includes the applications/ folder with Balsa .desktop files.
That may be why I don't see balsa & balsa-ab in the menu,
  and why the help files don't display.

In my env variables I found
XDG_DATA_DIRS= /usr/local/share:/usr/share
with a space after =.
None of the other environment variables have a space there.
Removing the space didn't correct any problem.

Discovering the option --with-help-dir= ,
I tried setting it to where balsa puts help files.
ie, /usr/local/share/help/
I didn't forget to redo configure, make, & make install (as root).
Still no help files.
Maybe I should specify the path to the language I use ?
(adding fr/balsa/ in my case)
Anyway, still experimenting.
Thanks again for your help.
