cant compile balsa

["mathieu [ chaos chaos chaos since 79 ]" <yeupou free fr>]

I was never able to compile balsa, since a very very long time.

I have switched to spruce, and no I reuse balsa, cos' the pre version are
less buggy.

But I've tried to compile pre1, pre2, pre3, pre4, pre5 , and It NEVER
works.

I was running RH 6.2 , now I run RH 7.0 . I've talk about this problem to
many people running other distro like slackware, debian, mandrake, no one
have success to compile it !
Since its the only way to have gtkhtml support (and also because a compiled
soft run better than a i386 RPM), I really want users able to compile it.

I have all the requirement for compiling it (and the configure pass without
troubles). Since I run practically only compiled software (gnome-core,
gnome-libs, gtk+, wmaker CVS, gimp CVS ..), I guess that the problem is on
your source, not on my box.

there's where it fucks.

hope that you'll release a compilable *to anyone* version !!

compilation command is ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gtkhtml&&make 
but it dont works also with no options.
