Re: [Evolution] Cannot initialize Evolution shell.

Hi Michael, 

        Thanks for your reply.  I tried both your ideas and both failed. 
Understand that the program doesn't load at all and I haven't even seen it yet
(I'm really missing out).

        In the two terminal concept, I opened evolution-mail in one and
evolution in the other and got the same problem.  I then tried to run gdb
against evolution and all I got was this.

(gdb) run
Starting program: /opt/evolution/bin/evolution 

Program exited with code 01.
(gdb)

        Notice I have it installed under /opt.  Does that matter?

Thanks for your help so far.
