[Evolution] "Relocating" Evolution, Connector

[Jeff Boerio <boerio ichips intel com>]

Has anyone successfully built v1.2 of Evolution for a location other
than /usr/bin?  Have you been able to plug in Connector to it?

I've been pretty unsuccessful in doing so.  I have a "wrapper" for
launching evolution and it looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
EVO=/usr/local/evolution/1.2.0
GNOME=/usr/local/gnome/1.4.0
PATH=${GNOME}/bin:${EVO}/bin:${PATH}

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${GNOME}/lib:${EVO}/lib
OAF_INFO_PATH=${GNOME}/share/oaf:${EVO}/share/oaf

export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH OAF_INFO_PATH

${EVO}/bin/evolution.bin ${ +"$@"}
## End

In order to "plug in" the Connector RPM, I used rpm2cpio piped to cpio
and installed it in $EVO.

Whenever I would launch evolution, I would get the following dialog box:

"Cannot activate component
OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_ExchangeStorage_ShellComponent: The error from
the activation system is:  Child process did not give an error message,
unknown failure occurred.  [OK]"

I broke down and tried to install Connector into /usr, modified my
wrapper script so that /usr/lib and /usr/share/oaf were included in the
respective variables, but I still get the error message.

So, has anyone done this?  

Thanks,
