Re: [Evolution] [Fwd: Evolution and NFS]

It sounds like your nfs server is not running a lock daemon? See if
there is something called nfslockd running or something similar. Also,
it may be that your version of the server is broken wrt locking, which
may mean that you'll have to upgrade your nfsd or else turn off all
locking when you run configure.
