Actually, the error building evolution was my own fault: I forgot to run
"make -k install" in e-d-s so it had never installed the new library.

The error building e-d-s is, though, I think, a real bug.  It's only in
the test directory, but nevertheless the build should always prefer the
local versions of those libraries to the already-installed versions, or
we'll run into this problem again and again.  Since the tests are build
automatically, it means we can't get a clean make/make install as long
as this problem exists.


Onward and upward!  Thanks.
