Thanks very much Matt. Sorry for the late reply. The week days have been
a little heavier than normal. The Makefile seems to fail while trying to
build the gnome-pilot daemon. I also had to install pilot-link with a
prefix of /opt/pl (The Makefile wanted it there). Here's some output
from gnu make:

Making all in gpilotd
make[3]: Entering directory
`/home/ice/dev/patch_work/evolutionsvn/obj/gnome-pilot/gpilotd'
/usr/bin/gob2 --always-private-header -o  ../libgpilotdCM
-w ../../../gnome-pilot/gpilotd/gnome-pilot-conduit-management.gob
../../../gnome-pilot/gpilotd/gnome-pilot-conduit-management.gob: Error: 

Cannot open outfile: ../libgpilotdCM/gnome-pilot-conduit-management.c

make[3]: *** [../libgpilotdCM/gnome-pilot-conduit-management.c] Error 1

I've never worked with GTK+ Object Builder so I'm not sure what the
problem is(I think that's what this is related to). I don't think it was
a permission error as I ran the Makefile with sudo. I didn't find
anything with google yet. The latest release of gnome-pilot builds fine.
I guess I could use that version. What I have instructed the Makefile to
do is use the svn trunk.

Could you help me get this up and running please? :)

Thanks,
Isaac
