I don't think you'll have much luck here.  Evolution is heavily
dependent on the base Gnome system, and newer versions of Evolution rely
on newer versions of Gnome.

I even had problems building 2.12, which is Gnome 2.22 based, on my
Ubuntu Feisty system, released in April of 2007 and using Gnome 2.18.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 was released in 2003 and I believe ships with
Gnome 2.8 (!).


The ONLY way you'll ever get the latest Evolution to run on that system
is by replacing the entirety of Gnome.  Even doing that may be difficult
on a system that old, because new versions of Gnome rely on various
system facilities like DBUS that might not be available for systems that
old.
