Just noticed something else... I have two Redhat 9 systems that experienced this problem. However Evo-1.4.6 is now running on one of them (not sure what I did). But... a ps -axf on the one that is working shows the following processes running:
8311 ? S 0:00 /usr/libexec/gconfg-2 14 8313 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/libexec/bonobo-activation-server -ac-activate --ior-output-fd=18 8315 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/libexec/evolution/1.4/evolution-wombat --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Wombat_InterfaceCheck --oaf-ior-fd=21 8317 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/libexec/evolution/1.4/evolution-alarm-notify --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Calendar_AlarmNotify_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=23 Sorry for the wrap... Anyway, it was the fact that some of the stuff for Evolution is running in /usr/local/libexec instead of /usr/libexec. Which means that I probably rebuilt something and it was installed in /usr/local rather than /usr. Also, on the machine where Evolution is not working, there are no such apps in /usr/local. Only in /usr. So, does this help in anyway? Is there a package that I need to install to get Evo working again? I did build Evo-1.5.5 from source recently (on the machine that is working now) and went back to 1.4.5 then to 1.4.6. Perhaps if I build 1.5.5 on the machine that is not working then go back and install the 1.4.6 rpms, it will work. Just a thought.
