Please, please, please don't reply to message digests - even if you edit
the digest to just show the relevant post (which you didn't) and change
the subject line, it still breaks threading.  If you must use digests,
turn on mime encoded messages so that you can reply to individual
threads.

And while I'm on about such things, top posting is frowned on here.

That is an incredibly old version of Fedora - the most recent version is
21.  Fedora 14 is now something like 3 years old and hasn't received ANY
updates for 2 years.  If you are going to use Fedora, then you must
commit to updating the OS every year.  If that's too much, then I
suggest you use a different distro, if you are used to Fedora, then
probably CentOS is the best one - that is a clone of RedHat Enterprise
and has a lifetime of at least 10 years - probably CentOS 6 is the best
fit for you if you have been using Fedora 14, it even has the same
version of Evolution, even though that is also very old.

The error indicates a miss-match between the version of libical
installed and that which Evolution was compile against.  A quick Google
seems to imply that the version of libical on F14 should be 0.46.
