Yes, this looks like a build issue. That path is where Debian installs evince's backends so it looks like you don't have evince correctly installed. And I don't believe that evince is capable of running correctly when it is not installed. When I'm testing evince I'll install it to someplace like ~/jhbuild/install first. _______________________________________________ evince-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evince-list
