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 -- 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."
