The build supplied in SuSE 8.0 is broken. They built it against Berkeley DB 4, whereas Evolution requires DB3 libraries.
The solution is to upgrade to a fixed build, the build of 1.0.5 for SuSE at www.usr-local-bin.org is built with DB3, and so will work, I've heard that the SuSE-supplied 1.0.5 build on ftp.suse.com is also built correctly, although I've not verified this. > I freshly installed Evolution 1.02 that was delivered with SuSE 8.0 (no > update of existing configuration). > When I start evo it says that it can't find the addressbook and asks me > to check the path and whether I have sufficient rights. When I open the > Contacts Folder I cannot enter any new contacts because the button and > the menu entry are deactivated. > What is the exact path or where can I set this ? > There is a file > ~/evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook.db > in my Home-Directory but it is empty. -- James Ogley, Unix Systems Administrator, Pinnacle Insurance Plc [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.pinnacle.co.uk +44 (0) 20 8731 3619 Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.0) Updated GNOME RPMs for SuSE Linux: www.usr-local-bin.org *********************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY.
