Hi Richard, How are you compiling evince? One way of encountering the errors you are facing is that either shared-mime-info is not installed on your system or glib is not finding it, so please double check that you have shared-mime info installed [1] (If you are using jhbuild, just do jhbuild install shared-mime-info)
