Yes, apparently :).

1.4.3 (the version that came with Evolution 1.4.5).

You'd think that, huh.  After it complains about -lresolv it then says:

*** Warning: libtool could not satisfy all declared inter-library
*** dependencies of module libevolution-addressbook.  Therefore, libtool
will create
*** a static module, that should work as long as the dlopening

So maybe there's something else missing (I tried compiling the shell
with -lresolv too).

Blech.  Sounds like a lot of tweaking.
