For some reason, when I reply it doesn't seem to go to the list.

Sorry about that.  I downloaded balsa-2.6.3.tar.xz and untarred it. =20
Then I'm running the configure command. I've run it many times and up =20
until I hit enchant I was able to find and install everything. Is there =20
any other into I can give you?

I normally just use the version of Balsa that's availalbe by default, =20
but unfortunately the one that comes with this version of Mint is =20
2.6.0-2, which apparently doesn't work well. So I don't really have any =20
experience building it.

I untarred into balsa-2.6.3 and I'm trying to build right in there.
