Default version of evolution on ubuntu maverick (10.10) is still 2.30,
as far as I know. The error in the above configure stems from the
missing libraries, which your custom build of evolution-data-server and
evolution are going to install. Have you followed my advice in the
messages below. Install into a fresh directory like /opt/evo and
specify PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/evo/lib/pkgconfig environment variable when
doing the build. Then it should pick up the correct, latest libraries.
First, build gtkhtml, then evolution-data-server, then evolution.
