Re: Evolution still isn't working

[Rodd Clarkson <r-list clarkson id au>]

To solve this problem:

enter the evolution folder.
run 'make clean && make install'
After the evolution tarball has been extracted and as configure starts
type CTRL-c to interrupt the build.

run the following commands:
        cd work/main.d/evolution-1.4.4/
        rm wombat/Evolution-Wombat-*.[hc]
        rm libwombat/Evolution-Wombat-*.[hc]
        autoconf
        cd ../../..

resume the make with 'make install'

This should make evolution work.
