Up to this point, the Ximian for any version of Mandrake has been released just about the time the _next_ version of Mandrake is going for pressing. This means your packages are out of sync. Ximian has newer packages on its site (and requires them) than is in the current version of Mandrake. If you want working evolution, you need to look at cooker packages, but then cooker has newer versions of many things and people have reported segfaults and worse trying to run _some_ updates from cooker on top of a stock system If you have the disk space, you can dual-boot Mandrake 8.1 and Cooker using the _same_ /home directory(if it is set up as a separate partition). THere are many methods to do this, but one is described at http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=473&lang=en Civileme > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com >
