Getting Evolution to work

Can anyone tell the secret to getting Evolution 1.3+ to work? I've tried packages from Ximian and the usr/local/bin website but can't get them to come up. They install fine and all dependencies are met yet they simply won't start. I've clicked on the file name(s) to no avail as the menu item (leftover from version 1.2.3) no longer works either. Any insight is appreciated! -- Zach Linux--Doing to Microsoft what the DOJ couldn't.
