[Evolution] debian (unstable)/evolution woes

[Joseph Barnett <jbarnett Stanford EDU>]

I'm running debian unstable (sid), and using evolution through the apt
sources.

A few days ago, a dist-upgrade (at least, i have nothing else to blame but
the dist-upgrade) caused Evolution to be unable to create a composition
window.  Now, after another dist-upgrade, Evolution won't even start, and
gives the following error:

        evolution: Symbol `oaf_popt_options' has different size in shared
        object, consider re-linking
        Multiple segmentation faults occurred; can't display error dialog

Fair enough, I say...  libraries have been updated and are apparently
incompatible...  let's build from source, so I downloaded the tarball from
the Ximian site.

./configure goes through without a hitch after installing all the proper
-dev packages.

when i try to make Evolution, however, I get the following error:

        In file included from e-summary-factory.h:28,
                         from component-factory.c:39:
        e-summary.h:58: parse error before `BonoboPropertyListener'
        e-summary.h:58: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
        e-summary.h:67: parse error before `}'
        make[3]: *** [component-factory.o] Error 1
        make[3]: Leaving directory
        `/home/jbarnett/evolution-0.8/executive-summary/component'
        make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
        make[2]: Leaving directory
        `/home/jbarnett/evolution-0.8/executive-summary'
        make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 2

I examined the ./executive-summary/component/e-summary.h file, and all
semicolons seem to be there.  Syntactically, the code appears fine.  I'm
not sure how to fix this... does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks much,
Joe
