Hi Dan,
I looked in the source RPM for evolution in Fedora Core 2. It removes
.la files according to the .spec files (that generates the .rpm):
# remove libtool archives for importers and the like
find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_libdir}/evolution -name '*.la' -exec rm {} \;
Because it takes too much time to figure out what's wrong exactly, I
took a different approach and downloaded the ximian-evolution rpm's (for
redhat 9) and the ximian connector rpm and installed them with:
rpm --nodeps -ivh evolution-1.4.6-0.ximian.6.6.i386.rpm
rpm --nodeps -ivh 380382-ximian-connector-1.4.7.1-0.ximian.6.1.i386.rpm
(without nodeps, it generates the following erroneous dependency
failures, as gtkhtml3 and libgal are up to date in FC2:
# rpm --force -ivh evolution-1.4.6-0.ximian.6.6.i386.rpm
warning: evolution-1.4.6-0.ximian.6.6.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY,
key ID fd4fe9e9
error: Failed dependencies:
gtkhtml3.0 >= 3.0.10 is needed by evolution-1.4.6-0.ximian.6.6
libcom_err.so.3 is needed by evolution-1.4.6-0.ximian.6.6
libgal2.0_6 >= 1.99.11 is needed by evolution-1.4.6-0.ximian.6.6
)
I suggest this method to others with fedora core 2.
Thanks for your help
