So I finally got evolution to compile. Whe I initially fired it up, I could not see any Contacts, but I could create new ones. But then the weird thing happened. Address completion seems to work off my old Contacts. So, the thing is reading them, but not displaying them. Then I tried something very brave that I hadn't done in a while. I pressed the "To:" button in a composer window. That has some varied results with the same end-effects: Total crash of evolution. Sometimes I see a list of all my contacts just before Evolution crashes. Other times it just dies immediately. And here is the kicker. Now I can see all my Contacts again...but I am beginning to be afraid to touch those darn things. What fun...
