Re: [Evolution] No provider available for protocol `exchange'

[Thomas Regier <tom regier lightsource ca>]

I found the problem: I compiled with 

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

so it was using the 2.0.3 libraries for the 2.0.4 version.  Changed to

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

did a 'make clean', './configure' and 'make install' and then and it
worked.
