I had a bit of a problem upgrading from Evolution 0.6 to 0.8.   My RPM
package also gave me
a few dependancy issues which were not clear as to how to resolve.  I
had some development
libraries which were not present on my system (I looked in GnoRPM,
development section to see 
what I had installed).   I had to go to the helixcode.com website, and
choose the "packages" 
section which has listed lots of source & binary modules.  I found all
the developement libraries
there (called xxx-devel-yyy).   Once I'd installed these RPMs, I was
able to install the Evolution
modules via the helixcode update prog.

The issue here is mostly that because Evolution is in beta (not ver 1
yet), it relies on the 
development utils to run.   I guess using preview progs has a down side
to it!!

Hope this helps.
