$ cat /etc/redhat-release

The server is a per user server, which you'll need. Basically
evolution-data-server is a layer between the frontend and the data for
Contacts, Calendar and Tasks. The data is accessible by Evo as well as
other apps, thus the per user server.

When building Evo from source, you need to have the development packages
of the dependencies installed (here likely gnome-icon-theme-devel) or
built them from source. As there are quite a lot of deps, you probably
don't want to go that route...


Depending on the RH version number, maybe someone in here knows where
you could get a recent Evo version.

Given that you currently run an almost 3 year old kernel (I assume) and
an Evo version that is almost as old (1.2.2 was released on Feb 7, 2003)
hovever, I doubt there are any updates to 2.4 or at least 2.2 available
for your particular distro and version. I'm sure this would need an
update of the entire GNOME desktop.

The best way to update this likely would be to update the entire OS.


Regarding your initial question: I don't know much about LDAP, and I
keep forgetting more and more details about 1.2.x versions of Evo...
