Has anyone successfully gotten Evolution to work on Suse 7.2?

Right out of the box, I installed Evolution through yast. No dependencies were indicated and everything seemed to work ok.

However, when you run the command line "evolution", the application starts but complains about not being able to find "file:///home/list/evolution/local/Drafts"!

Notice the third slash in file:///. The folders and files in question get created when evolution first starts, and the permissions are ok.

I have searched high and low to find where file:/// is.

well, file:// (note the two slashes) is similar to things like http:// and ftp:// etc. something used by browsers that double as file managers, i think. at least konqueror and ns can handle this. just like http:// introduces a url, file:// introduces a path to a file name. the third slash is simply the first slash of the path. i guess the program is fed a file name in this notation but does not know how to handle it. i wouldn't know how to solve it, but trying to find out where this file name is coming from might help. perhaps it is written as such in some config file. sorry to be of so little help, perhaps someone who is actually running evolution knows more... joost -- Joost Kremers, M.A. University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands Department of Languages and Cultures of the Middle-East PO Box 9103 6500 HD Nijmegen tel: + 32 24 3612996 fax: + 32 24 3611972 http://joostkremers.nijmegennet.nl ----------------------- a computer virus is a program that: - spreads like wildfire - gets on your computer without you wanting it - can cause unexpected system failures and data loss pray tell, which part of this definition does *not* apply to Windows? -------------------------------------------------------
