All I can do is to re-iterate what I said in reply to another message
in this thread:

    If you have 3.16.x already installed, then it must already have many of
    the correct libraries.  You will need the devel (or whatever your
    distro calls them) versions as well to get the header files.  Then just
    download the evolution and evolution-data-server tar balls, unpack them
    and run configure. Note all the failed dependencies, sort those out,
    rinse, repeat.

I'm sure there's some options to apt-get that automatically satisfies
the build requirements of a package, but I'm not a
Debian/Ubuntu/whatever user.
