Re: Evolution still isn't working

[Ronald Kuetemeier <ronald kuetemeier com>]

I have attached a patch which should fix some of the problems.  Even
yours looks like a idl compile issue. Make sure orbit-idl-2 can generate
these files (*common* *skels* *stubs*).
My problem was that evolution would start but calendar and Summary would
fail, do to a bug in the wombat idl. 
Steps to get it working:
apply the attached patch
run <make clean> in the evolution top source dir.
run <make>
run <make install>
run evolution

It should (good luck) work, also 1.4.4 still seems to have more bugs
than the old 1.2.4. So don't forget to backup your mail and calendar
data before running 1.4.4.
Hope this helps,
Ronald
