When you compile the packages, you need to specify the --prefix correctly so that the libraries are install in the proper places, otherwise they default to the /usr/local hierarchy, and are not necessarily found by other configure scripts.
When configuring packages for evolution/gnome, use ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc Not that for your system, the values for "prefix" and "sysconfdir" may be different. You can find out the appropriate values by: gnome-config --prefix gnome-config --sysconfdir Ujwal On Thu, 2001-11-22 at 07:09, Matthew Payne wrote: > Hello! > > I am trying to compile evolution from source, due to a problem I seem to be > having with gnome-gtkhtml-editor segfaulting.
