Hm, this doesn't seem to help for me. I now have the opposite problem.
On my work system I reinstalled from Ubuntu 7.10 scratch (because I
wanted to repartition my disk to have a separate /home partition).
I started Evolution from /usr/bin and it worked OK. Then I decided I
wanted to run with a version I had built myself from SVN, and
compiled/installed it into /opt/evo.
I have a shell script I'm running to start Evo, and it sets up my
environment then logs all kinds of details, so I know my environment is
correct; here's an excerpt from the log (obtained by running "env |
sort" so I know these are properly exported as well):
BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH=/opt/evo/lib/bonobo/servers
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/evo/lib/evolution/2.12:/opt/evo/lib
PATH=/opt/evo/libexec/evolution/2.12:/opt/evo/libexec:/opt/evo/bin:/home/psmith/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/games
Evolution start on Mon Oct 29 15:35:55 EDT 2007:
'/opt/evo/bin/evolution'
But when I use ps to see what's running, I get:
$ ps -aef | grep evo
psmith 1512 7673 6 15:40 pts/5 00:00:01 /opt/evo/bin/evolution
psmith 1526 1 0 15:40 ? 00:00:00

/usr/lib/evolution/2.12/evolution-alarm-notify
--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Calendar_AlarmNotify_Factory:2.12
--oaf-ior-fd=29
(Before I started /opt/evo/bin/evolution there were no processes running
containing the string "evo").
Can anyone tell me why it always invoking the stuff in /usr/lib, instead
of the stuff in /opt/evo/lib, even though I've set LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH, etc. etc.? And, how to change this?
Thanks!
