evolution looks for those libraries via gnome-config. So, gal and
gtkhtml install a galConf.sh/gtkhtmlConf.sh files in $(libdir). So,
either install gal and gtkhtml in the same prefix as the rest of gnome
(that is, where gnome-config is, usually /usr/bin, means you'll install
them into /usr), or do what I do which is:

install gal/gtkhtml into /opt/gnome
link /usr/lib/galConf.sh -> /opt/gnome/lib/galConf.sh (the same for
gtkhtmlConf.sh)
install evolution into /opt/gnome

of course, if you install into /opt/gnome, you'll have to define $PATH,
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH and $OAF_INFO_PATH (=
$OAF_INFO_PATH:/opt/gnome/share/oaf)
