Thanks Brian, I did exactly as you described below. When I type evolution at the prompt, I just get and error that reads "Command not found".
I want to thank all of you for your support, but I will not be trying to install evolution 1.4.6 due to its inability to connect to an exchange server. I really need the lastest version 2.0.4. However, all the compiling that needs to be done will probably claim one of my weekends. Do you think that the maintainer could put a binary together for this version? thx RLC > > From: "Brian O'Keefe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2005/03/19 Sat PM 02:34:54 EST > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > CC: Fink Beginners <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Re: [Fink-beginners] (no subject) > > Let's back up a bit first. > What happens when you start X11?
