Unable to activate address selector control" and some CORBA errors), but I didn't see a resolution. I've also been having the same problem for a while now, i.e. since 1.2 hit the ports tree... I did another check of Ximian's Bugzilla (bugzilla.ximian.com) today and found the solution (see bug 34325 for full details, http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=34325 ). In short, there is a problem with some old versions of libraries (libebook.*) being used instead of the new ones: # locate libebook /usr/X11R6/lib/evolution/1.2/libebook-static.a /usr/X11R6/lib/evolution/1.2/libebook.a /usr/X11R6/lib/evolution/1.2/libebook.so /usr/X11R6/lib/evolution/1.2/libebook.so.0 /usr/X11R6/lib/libebook.a /usr/X11R6/lib/libebook.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libebook.so.0 The old ones are in /usr/X11R6/lib/ The correct ones are in /usr/X11R6/lib/evolution/1.2/ Per the bug report, removing the old versions of the libraries ( rm /usr/X11R6/lib/libebook.* ) and restarting evolution fixes the problem. I think this is only an issue for those upgrading Evolution from versions prior to 1.2, but it might be worth adding a short message to the Evolution port regarding this problem anyways. Hope this helps! -ED -- Edward Glowacki glowack2@msu.edu Michigan State University "...a partial solution to the right problem is better than a complete solution to the wrong one."
