Agree, it seems like it should be one way or the other at the same Evolution version. Perhaps there are build options that enable/disable print related features? I've seen that kind of thing with other apps, possibly to avoid some mandatory dependencies. Dunno, I haven't built evolution in awhile. > > d) That I cant just get a add/on option? > That's correct.

Maybe, static linking still is not actually that simple.

Your LINUX ***DISTRIBUTION*** is the manager/avenue/method/agent of package ***DISTRIBUTION***.

I, a VERY HAPPY openSUSE LINUX-for-people-who-need-to-get-work-done user, always try to resist that when dealing with users of Ubuntu LINUX-for-humans derivatives. Otherwise I just start to sound like a broken-record partisan.
