evolution
I am runnig slackware current. I started out with slackware 9 but I have used swaret to upgrade all the packages I can.I recently started using Gnome and wanted to setup evolution. Problem is it won't start. I get an error message that says I don't have libgtkhtml.so.2. So I tried to intall that but when I try to #make I get several messages;

I can only imagine I am missing something, but I don't know what. Can someone point me in the right direction? |
Go here and get the .tgz and installing.
Since you have no idea about compile errors and may not have a clue to what to do It would be easiest... http://www.linuxpackages.net/search_...&name=evo&ver= |
The error shows that a function is not referenced by a library file, I guess this file does not exist on your system or it is a older version which does not provide the function needed.
Try to install or upgrade pango package before compile |
tried updating libpangoft
I tried install and upgrading libpangoft with swaret and was told that it was already installed and up to date.
|
What the output for :
grep FT_Get_PS_Font_Info /usr/X11R6/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 and : grep FT_Stream_GetShort /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 Have you the fontconfig package ? |
Binary file /usr/X11R6/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 matches
Binary file /usr//lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 matche |
Try a compile now ;)
|
I have tried the complile again and still get the same errors when I try Make. I have used swaret to try to install libgtkhtml and libpangoft and the responce I get on both is that they are already installed. Maybe I missed somthing in the ./configure.
|
Frankly, it may be a better solution to install dropline package, then install evolution and its required libraries from dropline-installer.
I remember that I never success with evolution compilation (maybe it is due by commercial reasons from the ximian team to make it impossible to compile :(...) |
I tried dropline. It didn't like my AMD processor, it wouldn't install.
|
I have an amd (duron) and I had no problem with dropline install. Did you install this package ?
|
Tried Dropline again. This time it screwed up something. I can't start any WMs. I get an error like can init font /usr/X11R6/bin/X11/CID. This may not be exactly correct but it is close. I am gonna try and reisntall KDE and fonts packages. I have already reinstalled Gnome.
|
Just comment the /usr/X11R6/bin/X11/CID line accordingly in your xorg.conf
