Re: [Evolution] Problems with evolution 1.02 on SuSE 8.0

[James Ogley <james ogley pinnacle co uk>]

The build supplied in SuSE 8.0 is broken.  They built it against
Berkeley DB 4, whereas Evolution requires DB3 libraries.

The solution is to upgrade to a fixed build, the build of 1.0.5 for SuSE
at www.usr-local-bin.org is built with DB3, and so will work, I've heard
that the SuSE-supplied 1.0.5 build on ftp.suse.com is also built
correctly, although I've not verified this.
