I've been wrestling with this problem that has a lot of reports online related to the mysterious message, "Error loading address book" followed by:
We were unable to open this address book. Please check that the path /home/foo/.evolution/addressbook/local/system exists and that you have permission to access it. Detailed error: Other error. Someone once identified that this error happened on everyone's machine who had built a custom version of evolution alongside their "production" version. Indeed, this was the case for me; I built Evo 2.26 via jhbuild, but was only running it on a separate user account. On my main user account, I was using Evo 2.24. The issue is the /etc/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-config.xml file. The developer docs recommend you add your local evo install to this search path. However, doing that on my machine causes the e-d-s 2.26 to run even with my 2.24 client. Once I removed this path from the config file, I could: killall bonobo-activation-server evolution --force-shutdown evolution and all was well again, my contacts opened. Anyone know what the *truly* right way is to run two copies of e-d-s (at different versions) on the same machine?
