Anybody know where I can find a RPM of a recent version of Balsa for
RH5 or Centos 5? Dag, et al, don't seem to have it.

 

Fred,

I looked into building the version from the FC6 extras repo. My build box is KDE, but ideally one needs a Gnome devel box to build balsa.

Do you want it for i386 or x86_64? Is there anything special about your env.?
On further info I might go ahead and build it.

My first cut at the dependencies got this

------------------------ 1st build attempt ------------------
[tlviewer@centos balsa]$ rpmbuild --sign --rebuild --define 'dist .el5' balsa-2.3.20-1.fc6.src.rpm
