[Evolution] Another tedious hamfisted administrator with a silly question

[Ben Tyson-Norrman <ben twowaytv co uk>]

Silly question time... thump thump on keyboard etc....


I'm trying to build Evolution on Debian 3.1 latest everything....

It already has Evo 2.04 on it - but I'm wanting the functionality and
prettiness that 2.4.2 gives me, want, want, want, want, want - that's
all these users do...

Anyway I can build gtkhtml and libsoup just fine, however I stumble on
the make of evolution-data-server. To be precise its in libedataserver.

Yes, I have tried to google the error - and chased lots of tails (and
email trails) - the end result was frustration, give-up and delete. Now
I'm trying again, I've tried installing every -dev package that I can
think of that might help (using synaptic), however I come to stop at the
same place.

I apologise if the answer is bl**dy obvious, I may have "can't see the
wood for the trees" disease.
