Anyone get Evolution 0.8 working?
I built gtkhtml 0.8 and evolution 0.8 on unstable. Evolution says Can't initialize the Evolution shell. This appears to be a CORBA problem. Before I dive in, has anyone else dealt with it? Thanks Bruce

Only to the extent you are duplicating _exactly_ my experience with evolution 0.8 and gtkhtml 0.8, where both are built from source on unstable! Sorry. If you are vouchsafed a solution (by your, or anyone else's, hand) could you post a heads-up hereabouts? -- Bob Bernstein at Esmond, Rhode Island, USA

Scavenging the mail folder uncovered Frank Belew's letter: -- snip-- I'm using the debs from deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/evolution/distributions/Debian ./ And evolution runs for me. Can you try these debs and see if they fix any problems for you? i am using the helix debs on a clean woody install (by clean i mean that all the gnome packages come from debian apart from the 2-3 not yet in woody, like gtkhtml, that are from helix.) it works. i won't use it as my main mua but it works pretty well. ciao, federico -- Federico Di Gregorio MIXAD LIVE Chief of Research Technology [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux Developer Italian Press Contact[EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't dream it.

Ettore set me straight. The problem is that oaf is not looking in /usr/local/share/oaf , and if you do the default installation, CORBA won't work. Move the contents of /usr/local/share/oaf to /usr/share/oaf . Run oaf-slay. Various GNOME applications die. Start evolution. There may be a policy question here regarding /usr/local and oaf. Thanks Bruce

Various GNOME applications die. Start evolution. Yes, that does it. It is a continual pain trying to get the prefixes straight with gnome, mixing and matching Helix stuff and source code. There may be a policy question here regarding /usr/local and oaf. I'll be staying tuned! g Thanks, -- Bob Bernstein at Esmond, Rhode Island, USA
