mozilla.org packages typically stash shared libraries needed by
Evolution into unusual directories.  Noting from another mail that you'd
installed mozilla 1.2.1 from mozilla.org, I'm willing to bet that's the
source of the problem.  Mozilla packages from Ximian and from most Linux
vendors put those libraries in more standard locations; hence, you
probably didn't need that environment variable before.

Sorry Mark, I really don't get that. What's the point with mozilla
packages from mozilla.org? Do they really share libraries? Especially
Gnome related ones?

I am running Mandrake 9.0, no mozilla RPMs from Mandrake though, only
mozilla 1.2.1 from mozilla.org. Everything really runs smoothly here,
including gnome-moz-remote. (After i put mozilla in the path, for sure.)

Would really wanna know, if I missed something here...

Evolution uses some of mozilla's shared libraries (more specifically,
mozilla-nspr's libraries).  Ximian and various Linux vendors typically
put these in /usr/lib.  mozilla.org has been putting them in
/usr/lib/mozilla-<version>, which will break Evolution unless the
directory in question is in either /etc/ld.so.conf or $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

At least, I *think* that's the problem everyone is talking about...
