Miraculously, I now have Evolution-1.4.6 running on my RedHat 9 machine. Although I really don't know what exactly made the difference.
I updated the evolution-1.4.6 (along with the devel and pilot rpms) snapshot for yesterday but that didn't fix it. I also started to build Evolution-1.5.5 from source which required several library updates. I didn't actually complete this but I now have duplicate libraries on my system. Some are in /usr/lib and some are in /usr/local/lib. What a mess. I also responded to the $BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH remark by NotZed and 'echo $BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH' returned nothing so a google on this came up with something about setting a path in the /etc/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-config.xml file to point to where the GNOME_Evolution*.server files are so I edited this in the /usr/local/etc/bonobo-activation directory to point to /usr/lib/bonobo/servers and now Evolution 1.4.6 (snapshot?) is working. I went all over the place to get it to work so I don't know which step exactly did it. But perhaps this might help someone in the future (or maybe it might help the developers with their installation scripts). Regards.
