Hello everybody,

I finally could make evolution by upgrading gnomecanvas.

Now the problem is other :-(

When I'm trying to create a new message it says:

Could not create composer window
Unable to activate address selector control.

The error from the system is:
Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0'

I looked at ximian.org and found the following:

<ximian.org>
Question
 What does the Evolution error "Cannot open composer window" mean? This=20
happens when I try to start writing a new mail message.

Answer
 This actually means that Evolution cannot activate the HTML editor compo=
nent=20
from GtkHTML.
Check that:
 Your PATH envionment variable contains gnome-gtkhtml-editor. To check th=
at=20
this is setup properly, open up a console and type the following:

 # which gnome-gtkhtml-editor
 # echo $PATH=20

You should find the directory which contains gnome-gtkhtml-editor in your=
 PATH=20
statement.=20

oafd is listed in your PATH environment variable.To check that this is se=
tup=20
properly, open up a console and type the following:
 # which oafd
 # echo $PATH=20

You should find the directory which contains oafd in your PATH statement.

GNOME_Evolution_Shell.oaf and the other GNOME_Evolution_*.oaf files are=20
readable and installed in $prefix/share/oaf, where $prefix is one of the=20
prefixes listed in GNOME_PATH or OAF_INFO_PATH. To check GNOME_PATH or=20
OAF_INFO_PATH, open a console and type:
 # echo $GNOME_PATH
 or
 # echo $OAF_INFO_PATH=20

Run oaf-slay in a console once before running Evolution again if you chan=
ge=20
$GNOME_PATH or $OAF_INFO_PATH.

evolution, evolution-mail and the other evolution-* executables are in yo=
ur=20
PATH.

Some users have reported that removing all files from /tmp/orbit-root sol=
ved=20
the problem.
</ximian.org>

The first thing I found in my system was that the file gnome-gtkhtml-edit=
or
didn't exist.  But found: /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-gtkhtml-editor-1.1
I did a symbolic link but still no luck.

Then I tried with GNOME_PATH and OAF_INFO_PATH

And found that in my system there is some difference as assumed by ximian=
=2Eorg:

GNOME_Evolution_*.oaf files are installed in: /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/oaf/=
 and=20
not in: $prefix/share/oaf, where $prefix is one of the prefixes listed in=
=20
GNOME_PATH or OAF_INFO_PATH.

So with the directory gnome between share and oaf seems it doesn't workou=
t.

What should I do?

Thanks a lot for your help, and please CC me.
