For some reason, when I reply it doesn't seem to go to the list.

Sorry about that. I downloaded balsa-2.6.3.tar.xz and untarred it.
Then I'm running the configure command. I've run it many times and up
until I hit enchant I was able to find and install everything. Is there
any other into I can give you?
I normally just use the version of Balsa that's availalbe by default,
but unfortunately the one that comes with this version of Mint is
2.6.0-2, which apparently doesn't work well. So I don't really have any
experience building it.
Additional question - where is your build directory?
I untarred into balsa-2.6.3 and I'm trying to build right in there.

First - what is the exact command you used? (configure or meson full
command line.) Also, are you building from git or a tarball (if so,
which version?)

I'm trying to build Balsa on Mint 20. I'm currently stuck on

not met:
No package 'enchant' found
AFAICT I've got and enchant that is not 1.6.1:
enchant is already the newest version (1.6.0-11.3build1).
enchant-2 is already the newest version (2.2.8-1ubuntu0.20.04.1).
I'm on Gentoo and actually have enchant 2.3.0 and see that 2.3.1 is
available, but 2.2.8 should certainly work. I have no problem
configuring with meson, but I can't test now with configure, as I'm
getting a different strange error I need to track down.
Additional question - where is your build directory? I create a
build dir below the root of the repository. (I'm also building from
git, not a tarball, but I don't think that should matter, although I
hope those aren't famous last words.)
