Finally managed to compile Evolution 1.3.1

However, I cant get it to start.

On going to the reqd bin directory in the path where I installed it & running
evolution-1.3, I get :
\"Cannot access the Ximian Evolution shell\" in a message box.

A similar post in gnomedesktop.org says that the bonono sever needs to be added
to the right path.
How do I do that ?

Sorry if this is a repost, I was not sure if the previous post (with the same issue) got delivered to the 
list.

Check /etc/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-config.xml (or where-ever
that file is on your system) for a line that looks like:
<item>/opt/Evolution2/lib/bonobo/servers</item>

Replace /opt/Evolution2 with the prefix that Evo 1.3 is installed to.

If you used --prefix=/usr, then you should only need the default line
(looks like):
<item>/usr/lib/bonobo/servers</item>

I'm having the same problem. I checked bonobo-activation-config.xml and
it had no existing <item> entry, so I placed one in the <searchpath>
section. Tried re-running evolution but still nothing.

Something that I noticed is that I have both an /opt/etc/gconf as well
as /etc/gconf. Could this be a problem? Maybe evolution is getting
confused over which settings to use? (I'm just grasping at straws
here... :) )

Any suggestions are welcome. (And after 6 hours of battling with getting
it compiled, I was so looking forward to seeing it work... oh well...
soon enough I hope... :)
