[Evolution] Installing Ximian connector from source

[Roalt Aalmoes <aalmoes nlr nl>]

Hi All,

Thanks to the GPL-ification of the connector I'm just new to this list.

I'm trying to compile and run the connector on a fedora core 1
installation with evolution-1.4.5

I managed to compile the fresh ximian-connector-1.4.7.1.tar.gz tarball,
but not without adding a '-lsasl2' option both to the lib/Makefile and
the storage/Makefile (after LDAP_LIBS), because it just generated the
following messages:

/usr/lib/libldap.a(cyrus.o)(.text+0x23): In function
`ldap_int_sasl_init':
: undefined reference to `sasl_version'
/usr/lib/libldap.a(cyrus.o)(.text+0xaa): In function
`ldap_int_sasl_init':
: undefined reference to `sasl_client_init'
/usr/lib/libldap.a(cyrus.o)(.text+0x157): In function `sb_sasl_setup':
: undefined reference to `sasl_getprop'
/

(and so on)

after a 'make install' everything went smoothly and I managed to add an
exchange account via the mail settings.

Unfortunately, I get the following message when I try to get mail:

Error while 'Scanning folders in "Exchange server <my exchange
address>"':
Could not connect to Evolution Exchange backend process: No such file or
directory

(I replaced our server's exchange address with <my exchange address>'

It looks like evolution cannot find a file from the ximian connector
package I just installed. Can anybody of the list shed a light on this?

Thanks!
