Hi, I'm not a suse user myself, but at least I can try to give you some hints...

Well, where did you get the Multisync package from? The multisync site? I think the rpm's are built on RedHat, so it is not that surprising if there are broken requirements. Evolution 1.4 is much better, nicer and less buggy, than 1.2, so it was a good idea to upgrade anyway :-) > Thus, I upgraded to Evolution 1.4, hoping that would do it.

If you try to set MULTISYNC_DEBUG=1 before you start multisync, what does it say? There should be some lines beginning with "Trying /.../". Is there any line for libevolution_sync.so? > As a next step, I tried to install via the sources. That doesn't work at > all!

Btw: Trying to > install the multisync-evolution gnome1 version while having evolution 1.4 > installed, tells me i needed evolution 1.2, which is correct. It sounds like there is something you missed to install, that multisync depends on. For the evolution plugin you need at least the evolution development package (probably called evolution-dev or evolution-devel), and maybe some other -devel packages too... some gnome development packages maybe? When running ./configure you should have got some errors/warnings that certain features that multisync needs are missing. /torkel ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Multisync-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/multisync-users
