Yes. The reason it failed for you was that your e-b RPM wasn't build with the version of e-d-s on your box. The best thing for your would be to do "yum install evolution-brutus" on F7. That RPM is guaranteed to have all dependencies resolved. > I then tried to install the evolution-brutus-x.tar.bz2 file in the > hopes that it would have the necessary libraries.

Other RPM based distributions will need to build those RPMs themselves or wait for me to do it. I'll strongly advise you to attempt to build e-b yourself. Just get the tar-ball and do: ./autogen.sh make dist-rpm These commands will, with a little luck, generate RPMs for you in ~/rpmbuild. Unfortunately success is not guaranteed as I've never used CentOS. Experience has taught me that even among RPM based distributions it often takes days (or even weeks) to make the build commands in the Makefile "just right". But do not despair - I'm here and I'll help you if you get into build troubles.
