Sorry, but evolution in its current state just doesn't work on FreeBSD. :((( It is not yet clear where the problem is, but we suspect that gnome-vfs could be a showstopper here. It seems that developers of the core gnome components have put coding speed in front of compatibility, so we have to live with that. Please wait some time - we are really aware about the problem and I hope that it will be fixed soon. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
