Nope, still can't find it anywhere - presumably just some internal
package used to automate building source packages at Ximian.  However
having patched configure to link pthread I can use my fresh build of
db-3.1.17 instead.

OK, that all works fine and even builds (!).  However installing fails:

...
/bin/sh ../../mkinstalldirs
/home/sean/src/cvs/evolution-1-4-branch/install/lib/evolution/1.4
 /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c 
libemiscwidgets.la
/home/sean/src/cvs/evolution-1-4-branch/install/lib/evolution/1.4/libemiscwidgets.la
libtool: install: error: cannot install `libemiscwidgets.la' to a
directory not ending in /usr/local/lib/evolution/1.4
make[3]: *** [install-privlibLTLIBRARIES] Error 1

Can this be easily fixed or worked around, or can I try and run Evo
without installing it?

Cheers,

Sean.
