libsoup

Unpack the main Evo tar file and look at the README. It tells you what
to do.

If you aren't using Exchange, forget it.

Evo 2.4.1 and e-d-s 1.4.1.1 are slightly more up to date.

I recommend you install in a separate tree (e.g. /opt/evolution), so you
can have both versions in case of trouble. RPM will not remove
your .evolution directory.

I believe so (don't use Mandriva myself), but see the README to make
sure versions are up to date (e.g. for gal). Note that you may need some
-devel RPMs when compiling, depending on what options you choose. You'll
know if the configure script complains.
