Hello, I have downloaded and extracted evolution 2.30.1 in Fedora 10. How do
I install 2.30.1? The about evolution box still says 2.24.5. Thanks, Larry

Do you mean you extracted a tar.gz file? If not, what do you mean?

Note that Fedora 10 is no longer supported (I mean the actual system,
not just Evolution). Evo 2.30 is available on Fedora 13 via the standard
system installation process ("yum install evolution"). I would strongly
recommend updating your system to F13 rather than trying to install Evo
on F10, but if that's not possible for some reason you'll essentially
have to compile it, plus some of the Gnome libraries, and install them
in a tree separate from the main system libraries. That of course means
downloading the source code.

You can't (not easily anyway).  If you want evolution 2.30.1 you'll have
to upgrade to Fedora 13.  Fedora 10 has been out of support for 5 months
so it would be a good idea to upgrade.

[Evolution] Installing Evolution Exchange

[Michael Hennebry]

I've been trying to get at my Microsoft Exchange account
from Fedora 13 with something other than the web interface.
To that end, I tried
http://www.novell.com/documentation/evolution24/?page=/documentation/evolution24/evolution24/data/outlook-migration-mail.html
Installing Evolution Exchange

To install the Evolution Exchange, run Red Carpet.

   1.

  Click System > Get Software.
   2.

  Click Channels, then select Evolution Exchange.
   3.

  Click Close.
   4.

  Select Evolution Exchange, then click Run Now.

After a few  rounds with yum, I concluded Red Carpet is named smart.
After installing smart-1.3.1-66.fc13.i686,
I tried
smart --gui
I got
error: Interface 'gtk' not available

This means Red Carpet doesn't like me because I'm running KDE?
I tried
smart --shell
Wow.
I get a lot of
New channel ...
Include it? (Y/n)
This could take a while.

How do I install Evolution Exchange?

Red Carpet is not appropriate for Fedora.  Use yum:

  yum install evolution-exchange

I don't believe red-carpet is appropriate for any distro anymore. [???]

Fedora / CentOS use yum
openSUSE uses zypper [ a descendant of red-carpet ]

What version of Exchange? If it's newer than 2003, you probably don't
want evolution-exchange at all. You want evolution-mapi or
evolution-ews.

Not sure if there is anything up to date. Maybe
http://library.gnome.org/users/evolution/2.32/usage-exchange.html.en is
partially usable.

Are you sure!  That's an ancient version - released in 1997.

Brutus died a long time ago.  It became obsolete when evolution-mapi was
introduced.  (Brutus required a windows machine to act as a mapi gateway
to the Exchange server.)

Have you installed evolution-mapi?  Can you get it to connect to the
server?

Fairly certain.
If I try Server Type: Microsoft exchange and OWA URL

I'm asked for my password.
After I give it, I get a complaint about 5.5 .

If you go to that URL with a browser you'll see that it's actually
Exchange 2007. evolution-exchange will definitely NOT work with that.

The service you are trying to use (Exchange Online) is a cloud based
service and will almost certainly live behind proxies with clustered
servers.  evolution-mapi does not work with such a setup.

If you can use Outlook on a PC to connect to the service, then in all
likelihood you will be able to use either evolution-ews or DavMail to
connect to it.

evolution-ews (ews=Exchange Web Services) is new and is officially (I
think) at alpha status.  I have used it and it does seem to be
reasonably stable though - mail features seem to be fairly complete.
The downside is that because it's still in development it isn't in any
of the distro repositories yet so it needs to be installed manually.
David Woodhouse (CC'd) is the developer and he will be able to tell you
more.

DavMail is a gateway that runs on your computer. It connects to an
Exchange server and presents mail & calendar to other applications using
proper standards based methods. http://davmail.sourceforge.net/

We called it 'Alpha' because it didn't have write functionality for the
calendar. That's fairly much all fixed now; the last thing on our
feature list that we want to implement before we release a 'Beta' is
free/busy lookup.

The mail side is working fine; I've been using it for *all* my company
email since about March. At least I was until last week, when I started
using ActiveSync in Evolution instead. But that's another story...

There are Fedora 14 i386 packages at
 http://download.meego.com/live/home:/dwmw2:/evo/Fedora_14/
although they need updating. Mail will work there, but the latest
calendar functionality isn't in those yet. Or is going to do that
*today*, I hope?

If you're on Fedora 15 or non-i386, you'll currently need to build from
source. It's not hard:

 sudo yum install evolution-devel evolution-data-server-devel 
"pkgconfig(gconf-2.0)" "pkgconfig(glib-2.0)" "pkgconfig(gtk-doc)" gettext 
intltool gnome-common
 git clone git://git.gnome.org/evolution-ews
 cd evolution-ews
 ./autogen.sh
 make
 sudo make install

Once the beta release is out, I'll probably submit packages for Fedora.

(Note: When you type 'foo' on the command line, modern systems will
helpfully say "oh, you need the 'foo' package installed if you want that
to work. Would you like me to install it for you? Why the hell can't
that be hooked up to work with configure scripts too? It *knows* it
needs pkgconfig(gconf-2.0), etc...)

autoconf reports six failures.
Two of the complaints were that  did not exist.
 does not exist.
Apparently  is used as an error marker,
but what error it marks, I cannot tell.
I don't see any way this could have ended well:

configure:4160: $? = 0
configure:4174: gcc -E  conftest.c
conftest.c:11:28: error: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory
configure:4174: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h */
| #define PACKAGE_NAME "evolution-ews"
| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "evolution-ews"
| #define PACKAGE_VERSION "0.31.0"
| #define PACKAGE_STRING "evolution-ews 0.31.0"
| #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT
"http://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=evolution-ews";
| #define PACKAGE_URL ""
| #define PACKAGE "evolution-ews"
| #define VERSION "0.31.0"
| /* end confdefs.h.  */
| #include 

The third was about an extern inside a function.
I think that without -Werror it would have been a warning.
It also complains "conftest.c:48: error: conflicting types for built-in
function 'dcgettext'"
It lists

| char dcgettext ();

Which differs from the man pages

char * dcgettext (const char * domainname, const char * msgid,
  int category);

The fifth complaint is another about an extern inside a function.
The last is about a missing 
I have /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib.h .
Do I just have to put in a -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 somewhere?

I've lost all my battles with autoconf,
so I definitely cannot do this myself.

Note that Fedora 13 is no longer supported. That means there are no more
updates available from Fedora repos, not even for critical security
bugs. You are strongly advised to upgrade to F14 or F15. This will of
course also get you later versions of Evolution (3.0.2 in the case of
F15).

Read it again. AFAIR the message says something like:
"This connector is intended to work with exchange 5.5", so it means that
your server version is _different_ that 5.5. But these are just my
memories - might be wrong.

Fedora 13 no longer exists. And when it did exist, it used Evolution
2.30, which evolution-ews does not support. You need Evolution 2.32 (as
in Fedora 14), or Evolution 3.0 (as in Fedora 15).

Fixing stuff up to work with the latest Evolution HEAD is on my TODO
list. I suspect it won't be quite as easy to keep it all building from
the same development tree (the hacks to make 2.32 and 3.0 build in the
same tree are bad enough already).

Once the real development push is complete, I'll be happier about taking
a branch for older releases of Evolution (2.32 in particular) and
calling it 'maintenance only', then removing that support from the
evo-ews HEAD.

Or, is the F14/i386 package updated yet?

[Evolution] installing Evolution updates on FC4

[J.L. Blom]

I hesitate as it may be a rather stupid question but I cannot seem to
install newer versions of Evolution under FC4.
Yum update is completely satisfied with Evolution 2.2.3 ( actually I'm
too) and can't (won't) find any new version. However, I found on the FC4
site version 2.5.90. Innocently I loaded it down (I can't write
downloaded it) (all available evolution-nnn.rpm files) and tried to
install it with rpm. The list of missing dependencies was overwhelming.
However, yum could solve that for me (I thought) and I used the command
'installocal' however, after a deep thinking and looking on the net, yum
told me there were a lot of missing dependencies.
The only reason I want to update for is that maybe the possibility
exists to connect my PDA with Evolution using bluetooth, as I have given
up on Opensync.
I can of course compile from source but that's no solution for the list
of dependencies has nothing to do with the compilation.
System: Linux 2.6.14-1.1656_FC4  x86_64 (AMD64) Evolution 2.2.3.
Does anybody know of a good solution for this problem? I know it is
actually not an Evolution problem but it is due to the different special
gnome libraries and subprograms necessary to run Evolution.
I hope somebody can give help as Evolution is one of my most essential
applications.

If I was you I would wait a few more days and install FC5.  The 2.5
version of Evo is a development version; the stable version will be 2.6.
I believe that 2.6 is due out with Gnome 2.14 on March 16th.  FC5 is
also due out on March 16th and I understand it will include Gnome 2.14,
hence will include Evo 2.6.  (If any of that is wrong, could someone let
me know!)

If you don't want to upgrade to FC5, then there is a yum repository of
Evo 2.4 at nrpms.net, from which all the dependencies will be satisfied.
However, you should be aware that it means upgrading to Gnome 2.12.

Re: [Evolution] installing Evolution updates on FC4

[J.L. Blom]

Pete,
Many thanks. That's exactly the answer I was hoping for.
I can wait 2 weeks and upgrade than to FC5 although I'm thinking of
deserting RedHat (after 8 years) as I have found that Ubuntu is a very
interesting Linux version I have running on another system: very stable
with an advanced but lean kernel.

By the way, the fact that Evolution (and many other larger packages) are
not backward compatible with older libraries is something that was
strictly forbidden in my former life (I headed a dpt. that developed
real-time data-acquisition biomedical programs) but it is in Linux
apparently something that's obligatory (!).
Peter, again, thanks a lot
Joep

[Evolution] Installing Evolution for Windows in Windows 7

[A.T. Yuhasz]

I am not having a successful installation of Evolution for 
Windows on Windows 7.


I continue to get the error message:

"evolution-exchange-storage.exe has stopped working"

In addition, when I attempt to click on a menu item, the 
instruction "block" turns to a neutral greyish color and if 
there is any wording there it is not visible.

So you downloaded a *source code* tarball of Evolution (and source code
needs to get compiled first to be executed as a program).
And just for the records, 3.12.4 is the latest stable Evolution version.

If you really want to do this and know what you are doing:
http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/06/install-from-source/
But if you have never compiled and installed source code tarballs and
their dependencies, then this is nothing to recommend.

Instead, take the pre-compiled package provided by your distribution and
install that one.

Sorry for the previous effusion of snark -- I'm really not happy with
Ubuntu at the moment over the whole bogofilter thing.

Can you suggest the least painful way of getting a version of Evolution
working on Ubuntu 14.04 that has a working bogofilter interface?

Ubuntu being a Debian-based distribution, you might try grabbing it from
Debian.

Ubuntu decided to disable bogofilter for Evolution in Ubuntu 13.10, and
carried this policy over to 14.04.

So if you want Bogofilter, you must do something outside of Ubuntu's
blessed way.

I just "upgraded" to 14.04, and am faced with becoming a sysadmin to get
Spamassassin working, or to submit to the Apple-like joys of only using
the software that some god-like organization deems is correct for me.  I
don't like either choice.
