Well, I didn't have these files in /opt/gnome/share/oaf. Rather, they
were in /usr/share/oaf. I added this latter path to
/etc/oaf/oaf-config.xml but this has not affected (i.e. solved) the
problem.


I also made links from the files in /usr/share/oaf to
/opt/gnome/share/oaf and had no success.

Running bonobo-moniker-xmldb by hand, using strace, I get the following
error message:

  bonobo-moniker-xmldb: relocation error: \
     bonobo-moniker-xmldb: undefined symbol: bonobo_url_lookup

... which seems like /that/ could be causing the problem.

Does anyone know what is supposed to provide this symbol? running ldd on
the bonobo-moniker-xmldb binary shows no problems:

The package that provides bonobo-moniker-xmldb, bonobo-conf, is reported by
rpm to be:

  bonobo-conf-0.14.ximian.1

... which seems to be the latest (i.e., no newer package seems to exist on
ftp.ximian.com)

Again, any help/advice/suggestion would be appreciated -- I really really want
this to run :)

GNOME_Evolution_Summary.oaf
GNOME_Evolution_Wombat.oaf

There are also a number of other Gnome files as well.  You might do a 
search (find / -name "*Evolution*" -print) and see if you have them, but 
in an unexpected place.

Best of luck!

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

Ok, well I solved _my_ problem.

Turns out there was no configuration file for oaf itself.  (well there 
was one, but it was empty)  I copied the config.xml.sample to config.xml 
and SHAZAM!  It seems to be working now.  Details below.

Many thanks to the suggestions!  strace didn't yield any missing 
dependencies, but it was a hell of an idea that I didn't occur to me.  I 
also grabbed 0.6.7 (had 0.6.5!).  Hopefully this will help others out there!

*root bmj:~# oaf-config --version*
0.6.7

*root bmj:~# oaf-sysconf --config-file-path*
OAF configuration file is:
   /etc/oaf/oaf-config.xml

*root bmj:~# oaf-sysconf --display-directories*
OAF configuration file contains:
   /opt/gnome/share/oaf
   /usr/local/gnome/share/oaf
   /usr/local/share/oaf
   /opt/gnome/oaf/share/oaf
   /opt/gnome/oaf/share/oaf

*root bmj:~# cat /etc/oaf/oaf-config.xml*

I think I mentioned this before, but make sure you have the latest oaf
package from Ximian (or from GNOME CVS if building from source: the
latest released version doesn't have the fix).
