Did you read my mail? ("-lpspell" is not "-lpspell-modules".) I had to
comment out the "pspell"-check, because it didn't work with my pspell
and pspell-packages.

Why is it a SuSE problem? I made RPM packages for me and used the SPEC
files from balsa (in source), libesmtp (in source) and pspell (from
SuSE) as a templates. You find MY specs in my the previous mail.

Sure, I can wait for the next Ximian GNOME Desktop or the next SuSE
distribution. But I liked to see balsa-1.2.0 before and this took me 1
day working time, because of all the configuration bugs. And my
previous mail was a summary of these bugs and suggestions for making
it better.

I don't think, this is only SuSE. But anyway, I think, it is a very
good idea to install GNOME in /opt/gnome. If you install
GNOME-Software in "/usr/bin", why X-Window-Programs should be
installed in "/usr/X11/bin"? It's a question of a good file system
hierarchy.
