I presume you mean LD_LIBRARY_PATH or ld.so.conf ?

Maybe try using 
strace -e open -f evolution
(or evolution-mail, or wombat, depending on which program isn't owrking)

to see what it can't find, sometimes its a library/file that another
library depends on and the error message isn't very direct.
