Re: [Evolution] Configuration Database not found..SOLVED.

[Gil Hauer <gilh sympatico ca>]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for this tip as well. Unfortunately, it does not help my case
(InterfaceNotFound error).

I too was missing this file and I copied it as you had but, alas,
evolution is not to be :) Still cannot find the configuration database.

I noticed, though, that the directories specified by the search with
either empty or do not exist. Does anyone know what specific files are
being searched for in these directories?

Thanks,
Gil
