I'm on a 32-bit x86 (Athlon) system, so if you do bother to build it
that's the one I'd like.

I grabbed the latest source tarball (where'd you find the src.rpm??) from
the balsa web page, and it quickly blew up (in ./configure) because of
missing dependencies. It seems to want different versions of some of 
the libs I've already got.

Thanks for replying, and please let me know if you get anywhere with
the build.
