problems compiling 2.0.4

[Tobias Fenster <balsa ars-solvendi de>]

hello

i upgraded recently to gnome2 and tried to get balsa 2.0.4 running, but
i always get the following error message:

checking whether to build ESMTP support... yes
checking for smtp_start_session in -lesmtp... no
configure: error: *** You enabled ESMTP but esmtp library is not found.

i installed the libesmtp-1.0-1.i386.rpm and also rebuilt
libesmtp-1.0-1.src.rpm, but still the same happens. this is what rpm
says, when i install the rpm:

tf@tf-linux:~/download/internet/balsa/balsa-2.0.4> rpm -ql libesmtp
/usr/bin/libesmtp-config
