Hello again, maybe my first try to send a request is gone anywhere... Thomas
Hello, I am new to this list and evolution and still try hard to get it to run, but whatever I try, there is this problem with "Cannot initialize the Evolution shell". After compiling evolution 0.10 from tar and installing lots of updates and other packages (I am using KDE as desktop), I got this error in the same way as if I install the rpm-package. I do all things I have found in the FAQ's and older mails but nothing works. oafd is in the PATH, the oaf-files are readable, and in the propper directories, evolution etc. is the PATH.... evolution starts with the following sequence: $ evolution Trying dir /opt/gnome/share/oaf Trying dir /opt/gnome Trying dir /usr Trying dir Trying dir /usr/share/oaf Trying dir /opt/gnome/share/oaf Trying dir /opt/gnome/bin Trying dir /opt/gnome/share/oaf Trying dir /usr/share/oaf The message with the error "Cannot..." appears and thats all... OAF_INFO_PATH is set to GNOME_PATH, or removed... killev, oaf-slay, evolution doesn't help... oafd seems to run $ ps aux ... emmel 1815 0.0 1.1 2632 1464 ? S 12:14 0:00 oafd --ac-activate --ior-output-fd=10 ... If I try to start the other parts (evolution-mail, evolution-calendar...) nothing happens, the program seems to wait forever for something mysterious! Is there some way to get more information, maybe with --debug??? Any help needed. Thanks in advance Thomas -- ____________________________________________________________________ Dipl.-Ing.
