Problems with Balsa CVS

[Nathan Clemons <nathan windsofstorm net>]

First let me state that I don't believe the problem is on Balsa's end. :)

I recently upgraded my system from Mandrake 7 to Mandrake hydrogen
(7.1b3). Afterwards, I went to grab Balsa from CVS. When I run autogen.sh,
I get (here is the script):

This is really wierd... But if anyone has any suggestions as to what my
problem is, I would appreciate hearing them. I've upgraded to HelixCode
GNOME and would like to get Balsa back up and running. :)

And being the hacker I am, I don't see the point in doing it via RPM when
I might be able to make helpful code changes.

Thanks folks.
