Dear Evolution experts, I downloaded Evolution 1.0 distribution tarfile from
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/unstable/sources/evolution/ and successfuly built/installed the binaries using native for RH 7.1 GCC: /home/murat>gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-85) (I'm running RH Linux 7.1 with some packages updated solely to build Evolution). When I'm starting evolution, it pops up a window saying "Cannot initialize Ximian Evolution shell: Configuration Database not found" , prints to stderr/stdout the following message: evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot access Bonobo/ConfigDatabase on wombat: (IDL:OAF/GeneralError:1.0) and bails out. I went through the FAQ's and recent postings to the mailing list and checked that: - I have a single copy of oafd: /usr/bin/oafd - evolution, evolution-mail, etc have been installed into /usr/local/bin - $GNOME_PATH or $OAF_INFO_PATH are not defined, neither were they defined at build time - running `oaf-slay` doesn't change anything - I have recent [and consistent] versions of netscape/mozilla runtime libs: /home/murat>rpm -q libnspr4 libnspr4-0.9.5-ximian.1 /home/murat>rpm -q mozilla mozilla-0.9.5-ximian.1 - reboot doesn't help I'd really appreciate any hints on what else can be looked at. Also couple of questions: - it looks like quite a few people are reporting startup problems. The diagnostics printed by Evolution in this case is pretty generic and (as also mentioned in FAQ) not very informative - wouldn't implementing more detailed diagnostics pay off right away? - is there a way to search the mailing list archives which wouldn't involve downloading all the messages to the user's machine? -thanks a lot and Happy New Year, Pasha _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
