Hi Albrecht,

Sorry for the noise.  It looks like
1) I may well have had an old copy around
2) my recompile initially failed because I was apparently mixing  
something between enchant 2.1 and enchant 2.2, as I had made that  
upgrade since my previous build of balsa.  A new build from scratch  
worked fine; balsa works fine
3) balsa_ab now fails as you reported.  However, when I run from the  
Balsa menu, I get a window titled "vCard address book" but I thought  
what ran earlier was something different.  Could that have just been  
because it was an older version?
