Evolution 2.12 hasn't been released yet.  But the download page *is*
out-of-date.  We've had seven unstable releases since 2.10.0.  Also, the
latest stable release is 2.10.3, not .2.  Clearly we need to do a better
job at keeping this page up-to-date.

The generic GNU instructions are written for released tarballs, which do
include a configure script.  Running autogen.sh was correct for
compiling from Subversion.  The gnome-common package can be obtained
here:

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gnome-common/2.18/

But like Muelli said, installing packages from your distro is much
easier and preferred if you can.

Hope this helps,
