how do I make 2.3.4 run on a friggin' RH9?

[Barbara Pennacchi <barbara pennacchi istc cnr it>]

hi,

I've been trying to make the new version of balsa (2.3.3 first, then 
2.3.4) work on rh9, but without much success. And my patience is nearing 
to an end, since I've never been really good at playing with rpm and its 
rpm-rebuilding facilities.

The main reason for wanting the new version is due to the fact that the 
only rh9 version available (2.2.6) likes a tad too much to crash (with 
segfault, if I remember correctly) when there are too many "actions" in 
rapid succession (like filtering 'em, clicking on them or somesuch) on 
emails infested with either html or attachments or both, usually when 
emails involved reach a number above 2.

Unfortunately I'm not really much good at tracing crashes.

I've been following sporadically your ml's archives, in the hope of 
finding other people using balsa on a rh9 system.

Obviously, I've been trying to rebuild balsa from the src.rpm but it spat 
me, near the end of the tedious process, the following errors:

> auth-gssapi.c: In function `ag_get_target':
> auth-gssapi.c:201: `GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE' undeclared (first use in 
> this function)
> auth-gssapi.c:201: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
> auth-gssapi.c:201: for each function it appears in.)
> make[3]: *** [auth-gssapi.o] Error 1
> make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/balsa-2.3.3/libbalsa/imap'
> make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
> make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/balsa-2.3.3/libbalsa'
> make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
> make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/balsa-2.3.3'
> make: *** [all] Error 2

Almost the same errors popped up in rebuilding from 2.3.4 version.

I'd really appreciate some help/hints/whatever.

Thanks in advance,
barbara.
