How do I install Evolution, which is a tar.bz2 archive?

After the ./configure it error with Evolution Development libraries not installed?

Thanks

Thanks.

Update: when using yum, it installs the updates of 2.24 (which is already installed on my fedora box). I managed to yum evolution-exchange successfully. So I guess, the install part is now OK.

I'll start a new thread for the evolution-exchange connection.

Thanks Repo
