I've got the following error when trying to compile evolution 1.4.6-9 lately;

In a usenet thread on compiling balsa 2.0.14 they debugged a very similar error message down to the following;
--
A little bit of further investigation found that the libgnomeprint[ui]-2.0 files were symlinks to the 2.2 versions, hence the fact that it looked at the libgnomeprint-2.2.pc file. Gnumeric also had the same difficulties come compile time. I guess the symlinks are there to provide backwards compatibility with things that look for 2.0 not 2.2 despite the fact that the API has changed.
I think the problem stems from the fact that I have an old libgnomeprint-2.0 in my /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ directory. This seems to
have been confusing the configure script into using the old style API. Removing it resulted in an error-free compile :) Could this be fixed in the configure script?
Balsa's configure.in has been fixed in cvs to look for libgnomeprint[ui]-2.2 before 2.0, so it should work even with symlinks like that.

I don't think this could be the case here as I do not have any old libgnomeprint files in my /sw/lib/pkgconfig or /usr/lib/pkgconfig dirs, but perhaps someone has a better idea..
