This is one that people hit a lot, because unfortunately Evolution's
configure script only checks that you _have_ the required libraries, but
doesn't check whether they're recent enough.

Evolution 2.8 uses a new memory allocator (GSlice) that was introduced
in GLib 2.10.  These errors indicate that your installed GLib version is
less than 2.10, so you need to upgrade to 2.10 or higher.
