RE: [Evolution] how to get around dependence check in "configure" ?

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

Well it could be a system problem (i.le. all the locks are used, i've
seen it happen when apache has its state file on nfs).

nfs on solaris certainly supports locking, so its not that the server
doesn't support it, although i dont know the status of the linux client.

You could try compiling evolution and turning off fcntl locking, and
just letting it use .locking.

probably ./configure --enable-file-locking=no
would do the trick.
