Re: [Evolution] 'make install' linking problem

["E. M. Recio" <erecio polywog org>]

OK, now I feel like an idiot. :-/

You are right with the system packages of evolution. It didn't occur to me 
because I typically double check before compiling that the system's 
packages are uninstalled. I guess I am just getting old and forgetful!

I typically install the distro's evolution devel packages, so that it 
installes the 'devel' dependencies (e.g.: libgweather-devel, 
libchamplain-devel, ... ). Then I promptly remove the evolution 
packages and compile the latest source. I guess I just forgot to remove 
the packages... which cost me 1 full day of googling, debugging, and 
hitting my head on the keyboard! :-\

Oh, well, thanks again!! It worked.
