For camel-provider you need to reinstall evolution-data-server from CVS
at this moment. The camel-stuff got very recently moved to
evolution-data-server by Michael Zucchi (like, a week ago I think).

Note that you shouldn't compile evolution as root. But you should "make
install" it as a user that can write to the desired prefix of course.

You might also want to checkout this information, which is still valid
and will work when compiling Evolution from CVS. But you will probably
need to redo (cvs update -d) most, if not all, modules. Especially
evolution-data-server (which will be a huge cvs update, promised).

To the other evolution-hackers out here: Perhaps, however, it's a good
idea to add a comment to the "configure.in"-file about
evolution-data-server when camel-provider-1.2.pc ain't found? Since for
a beginner-developer there's no indication that for this pkg-config
-package you actually need evolution-data-server.
