Subject:   Problem composing messages in Evolution 1.2 solved

Hey everyone,

I saw a few messages in the FreeBSD mail archives about people not being
able to compose messages with Evolution 1.2 (error message about "Could
not create composer window.  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
