Has anyone installed Evolution 2.4.1, and does it work OK for you? This weekend I yanked out my Gnome install tree (yet again) and rebuilt it with the latest 2.12.1 sources, followed by another fresh install of Evolution. Just like my efforts a few weeks ago, it works fine except for the address book. Even though my contacts are still in the same location, they do not show up; only the address book names show up, all empty. Most of the context menus have the "Add new contact" option greyed out, but the File / New / Contact menu is accessible. If I click on that, however, nothing happens.
In case it was a problem converting over from prior versions, I restarted Evolution as root (which does not currently have a personal folder for ~.evolution or the various .gconf, .gnome etc. settings) but I get the same problem starting with a clean home directory. I'm asking here first because I think it's a build problem rather than a code problem - I searched Bugzilla and the Evolution mailing list and only one other person reported similar symptoms, back in version 2.2.2, so I doubt other users are seeing the same failure. kernel is 2.6.12.2, gcc is 3.4.4, Gnome is 2.12.1. -- Peter B.
