  I've had that problem since evolution-0.0 since I keep libunicode
in /opt.

  I'm using libunicode-0.4 for what it is worth.

  The basic problem seems to be that Evolution's composer stomps on
CPPFLAGS, which doesn't let you tell it where your extra libraries are
like just about every other GNOME program.

  This is the patch I'm using, although you'll have to adjust it for
your own library location.
