Can you run gpilotd in a command window (/usr/libexec/gpilotd or /usr/lib/gpilotd - might have to
kill an existing gpilotd process)? If you send the list the output from this, we'll have more
information to figure out what might be wrong.

Also, what version of pilot-link and gnome-pilot are you using? What distribution?

gpilotd and evolution don't write to any logs, so far as I know.

One other question: do you need to authenticate with the LDAP server? Some code was added not too
long ago to deal with authentication - maybe the new code doesn't work?

You might also want to send an e-mail to evolution gnome org (the users evolution list). The
EAddress conduit is actually maintained by the evolution team, not gnome-pilot.
