what problems were you having? You must note that gnomedb-mgr is a
component, so if you run it
on the command line, nothing will appear. You need to run the gnomedb-fe
to load the manager on it.

have you looked at http://spidermonkey.ximian.com/evolution-snapshots?
There are all the latest
libgal and libgtkhtml versions for both Debian and RPM-based systems.

ok, this problem I've found myself several times, I don't know exactly
the cause, but I know the solution :) just append --disable-bonobotest
to configure command line.

I hope they're not. It seems to me that everything will be fixed when
you install the latest libgal
and libgtkhtml versions. If you've got any more problem, please report
it again to the list.
