[Evolution] Trashed my Evo installation

[Tony Earnshaw <tonni billy demon nl>]

Hi!

Highly updated RH 7.2, Gnome 1.4, - had Evo 1.2.4.

Trashed Gnome's gtk+ by experimenting with my own rpms, checkinstall and 
things like that.

I repaired everything but Evo (it's looking for things I can't find.). I 
now have 2 completely different gtk+ versions available in parallel, 
gtk+-2.2.1 and gtk+-1.2.10-ximian.31. I can choose which I want for 
compiles - I much prefer gtk+-2.2.1, it's faster and prettier.

I had to get Mozilla 1.3b working for mail PDQ (filters and all), all my 
mail is in IMAP anyway, so I'm none the worse off.

To be frank, the only things I really miss about Evo is Chris Toshok's 
lousy ldap for my contacts. Turns out it was *good*, after all, compared 
to Mozilla (can't drag 'n drop any more, and there's no question of 
using ldap for contact maintenance.) And I miss the spelling checkers I 
had :-(

Having got this far, I don't really want to get back to where I was. 
What I'd like to do, is have a go at compiling Evo 1.3. Is this 
reasonably possible for mortals? Could Guenther please comment? I'm 
reasonably proficient in that sort of stuff, but I don't want to start 
debugging code to get things working. And since I have a rock-stable RH 
7.2 (*important*) and only the one machine, I don't want to do any OS 
update.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Best,

Tony
