[Evolution] prob with having two versions of Evolution

[Jennifer Pinkham <jennifer unrulygrrl org>]

I currently have a working copy of Evolution v1.0.5 and its 
corresponding libs. 

I would like to be able to try out the latest snapshot of Evo, 
along with its required libraries, without disturbing or over 
writing anything already in existence. 

Since rpm would not let me change the dir that Evo and libs 
were to be installed in, I used alien to convert the rpms 
to .tgz files.  I have the snapshot stuff installed in 
/usr/src/tmp/evolution/ (from here on I will refer to this 
as $TMP_EVO so it's less for me to type and you to read). 
I added $TMP_EVO/usr/lib to my /etc/ld.so.conf file and ran 
ldconfig.  I also edited the galConf.sh and gtkhtmlConf.sh (in 
$TMP_EVO/usr/lib) and added "-I$TMP_EVO/usr/lib" everywhere 
"/usr/lib" was mentioned. 

I didn't already have the source installed for gal or 
gtkhtml, so I made symbolic links from $TMP_EVO/usr/include/ 
gal and gtkhtml dirs to dirs in /usr/include/. 

Once I fixed enough so evo would start up without "cannot 
load shared object file" errors, now I get this instead:

I am using gdk-pixbuf v0.11.0 and gtk v1.2.10.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
