Thanks.

The patch fails to apply to gnome-contacts-3.10.1 so I applied it manually, but then "make" fails with the 
errors pasted below - I've verified that without the patch it compiles without problems.

"folks-inspect" throws the same error about "Failed to find primary PersonaStore…", but perhaps that's 
because the only contacts I have so far on this machine are in 
~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/contacts.db

Do I need to create a primary PersonaStore and, if so, how?

BTW, if I enter "folks-inspect" and then "backends eds" I end up in the "vi" editor, what exact commands 
should I enter?

Cheers
John
