problems configuring evolution
hi...
When I tried to configure evolution using the ./configure script I get an error. Well, it is'nt an error, I'd say it's a missing file or lib of some kind...
checking for gnome-config... no
checking for gnomeConf.sh file in /usr/local/lib... not found
configure: error: Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is generated by gnome-libs install
It seems to me there should be a missing file, but when I checked for it on the internet I could'nt seem to find anything that was in interest...
I feel like I've posted this a dozen times already, but once again, in my experience the EASIEST way to get Evolution up and running is to install Dropline, and have it do the work for you. Missing packages? Not an issue with Dropline. Have the package but it's the wrong version? Not an issue with Dropline. Check it out. http://www.dropline.net/gnome/ -- J.W.
