Hm, this doesn't seem to help for me. I now have the opposite problem. On my work system I reinstalled from Ubuntu 7.10 scratch (because I wanted to repartition my disk to have a separate /home partition). I started Evolution from /usr/bin and it worked OK. Then I decided I wanted to run with a version I had built myself from SVN, and compiled/installed it into /opt/evo. I have a shell script I'm running to start Evo, and it sets up my environment then logs all kinds of details, so I know my environment is correct; here's an excerpt from the log (obtained by running "env | sort" so I know these are properly exported as well): BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH=/opt/evo/lib/bonobo/servers LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/evo/lib/evolution/2.12:/opt/evo/lib PATH=/opt/evo/libexec/evolution/2.12:/opt/evo/libexec:/opt/evo/bin:/home/psmith/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/games Evolution start on Mon Oct 29 15:35:55 EDT 2007: '/opt/evo/bin/evolution' But when I use ps to see what's running, I get: $ ps -aef | grep evo psmith 1512 7673 6 15:40 pts/5 00:00:01 /opt/evo/bin/evolution psmith 1526 1 0 15:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/evolution/evolution-data-server-1.12 --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_DataServer_InterfaceCheck --oaf-ior-fd=25 psmith 1546 1 3 15:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/evolution/2.12/evolution-exchange-storage --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Exchange_Component_Factory:2.12 --oaf-ior-fd=27 psmith 1561 1 0 15:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/evolution/2.12/evolution-alarm-notify --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Calendar_AlarmNotify_Factory:2.12 --oaf-ior-fd=29 (Before I started /opt/evo/bin/evolution there were no processes running containing the string "evo"). Can anyone tell me why it always invoking the stuff in /usr/lib, instead of the stuff in /opt/evo/lib, even though I've set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH, etc. etc.? And, how to change this? Thanks! -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
