They release every six months.  Period.  Mind you, this release will be  
delayed a bit becuause (for the first time) the ISO's will no be published  
until the boxed sets are for sale, and the club members have had a chance to  
download early.  This was a bit of a sensitive issue for us, but I think we  
decided it was for the best interests of survival for the company.

You shouln't need to export anything.  pkgconfig come well setup.  I just  
compiled balsa cvs yesterday with:
autoconf
./configure --prefix=/usr
make

No errors at all.
Now you may have problems if you've built the libraries from source and not  
installed the .pc files to /usr/lib/pkgconfig... which is our default  
PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

I have rebuild the latest balsa for Mandarake 9.1, and it's available at:
