Thanks!

hi, Harish

We spotted a problem in evolution 2.2 that evolution data server failed to start up by itself when evolution is launched under solaris.

The cause is on solaris, we speficy libexecdir = libdir when configuring, so there is no /usr/libexec directory under solaris. This lead to the fact that evolution-data-server-1.2 is not installed as expected in /usr/libexec on linux. A copy of this executable file is put into /usr/lib/evolution-data-server-1.2 instead since the directory has already been there. As a result, the actual installation path for the executable evolution -data-server-1.2 is /usr/lib/evolution-data-server-1.2/evolution-data-server.

However, in /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Evolution_DataServer-1.2.server, the location for the executable evolution-data-server-1.2 is incorrect, which is /usr/lib/evolution-data-server-1.2.

For Evolution 2.4, we looked in to evolution-data-server-1.4 installation and found that in the 1.4 version, two different VERSIONs are defined, a BASE_VERSION=1.4 and a API_VERSION=1.2. In this way, the name of the executable evolution-data-server-1.4 is different from the directory evolution-data-server-1.2 for installing camelprovider and extensions. However, when API_VERSION and BASE_VERSION bear the same value (possibly in the future) , evolution data server will fail to start up by itself again.

On the above observation, I created a patch for settling the problem as decribed. The patch is sent as attachment to this file. Please reviews.
