Re: [Evolution] Evolution 2.2.2 on Solaris 10

[Ian Baines <ian ianbaines org>]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried setting BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH in a shell (to 
/opt/csw/lib/bonobo/servers/) before running Evolution 2.2.2 and ended up with the same failure.

I then set BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH in my .bash_profile to /opt/csw/lib/bonobo/servers:$BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH 
logged out and back in and Nautilus failed to start.

The problem here is that the Blastwave.org Evolution package is built against a different gnome prefix 
(/opt/csw) to the Sun Solaris 10 one (/usr).

As one last effort I copied and deleted the GNOME_Evolution_* entries from /usr/lib/bonobo/servers and 
symlinked the ones from /opt/csw/lib/bonobo/servers.

This did actually start up Evolution 2.2.2 and asked to convert my 1.4.6 database to 2.x style but then 
crashed with the following errors:-

I don't think this is going to work!

Maybe my only option is to compile from source so that the Gnome prefixes are the same?
