So, I'm wondering if I'm going about this right. Can you enlighten me about how to approach this?
I suspect that if I had needed 1 or 2 files to get evolution working, I would have gone to ftp.ximian.com and downloaded the missing file.
It is curious though that the version of evolution included in SuSE 7.3 and now SuSE 8.0 both worked for me without a dependency issue regarding gnome-pilot. I do not use pilot software so I would not have missed the functionality. Is it a version of evolution from the SuSE CD or ftp that is claiming a gnome-pilot dependency? Not that I would be able to help.
Evolution does not claim a gnome-pilot dependency. I need gnome-pilot to sync my PDA with Evolution. Unfortunately, SuSE 7.3 doesn't include gnome-pilot, and it's not in the SuSE-Gnome upgrades either. Ximian has it. So, I can use the SuSE-Gnome upgrades, and try to patch in gnome-pilot too, but then I have software that doesn't fit in the SuSE administration scheme (YaST knows nothing about it, and won't help). I can use the Ximian package for Evolution, which at first glance works perfectly. But I'm not installing the complete Ximian, I'm trying to remain with the SuSE approach and tools and directory structure and diagnostics, etc. So the question I have is - will this work? Do the Ximian Evolution packges for SuSE interfere with any of the other SuSE stuff? That's what I'm trying to figure out. I don't want to commit to a system that I can't troubleshoot with SuSE tools or with Ximian tools because I mixed them. I don't want to create an unknown configuration for myself - it will bite me when I least can afford it <grin>. I've been using SuSE since 5.x, and it's pretty self consistent. Do you know how well Ximian and SuSE work together? I'm capable of figuring out any problem eventually, but I have other priorities - I don't want to buy myself trouble. That's what I'm trying to find out about. Regards, Bret
