That's clearly a bug. And we need you to discover them :) Actually, the site links to http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/evolution/2.10/evolution-2.10.2.tar.bz2 so one could guess http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/evolution/2.11/ but of course this is way too unconvenient.
The compilation instructions were generic GNU instructions and said there would be a configure script, which there wasn't. I tried make but it said no targets. I tried running "./autogen.sh" and it said "You need to install gnome-common from the GNOME CVS".
Well, compiling Evolution is a bit tricky. You might want to have a look at http://www.go-evolution.org/Compiling_Evolution_from_SVN and use JHbuild. Anyway, you can use latest Ubuntu builds which muss less hassle. Add the gutsy repositories like sudo -s cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list <<EOF deb http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted universe multiverse deb http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates main restricted multiverse deb http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/ubuntu/ gutsy-backports restricted main multiverse universe deb http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/ubuntu/ gutsy-security main restricted multiverse EOF then apply some pinning magic to make the gutsy repositories not to be your default ones. cat >> /etc/apt/preferences <<EOF # gutsy Package: * Pin: release a=feisty Pin-Priority: 700 Package: * Pin: release a=gutsy Pin-Priority: 650 EOF Now you should be able to apt-get install evolution/gutsy Cheers, Muelli
