I've tried removing and re-adding needed libraries. I even tried getting the latest drivers (just released), but everytime I try to compile Evolution 0.12 I it gets errors and won't install (it configures fine now, but shows errors on the compile). I tried the Ximian rpm, but it keeps having 'issues' with missing libraries that weren't needed a week ago (the latest being libgtkhtml.so.14 -- the Evolution tar ball said it only needed 0.11, I installed 0.12).
From what I saw from Evolution, I liked it as I need a decent PIM. However, I do NOT like Ximian Gnome because it makes compiling other programs and such a chore and takes away some of the choices I like (and it took them **way** too long to support SuSE 7.1 or 7.2).
I'm almost to the point of giving up. Anyone got any useful suggestions?
Install Ximian gnome and then use Red Carpet to install evolution plus its dependencies plus the bonobo-conf and libbonobo-conf. On a SuSE 7.2 system this will give you a working evolution 0.13. Once you have evolution working you can use it in the window manager of your choice. Downloading Ximian to get Evolution probably makes evolution the bloat champion of the world. Two of the people I have done this for have said that evolution was worth it. Compiling evolution and tracking down the dependencies for evolution was a royal pain. It would take 2 days to get Evo 0.11 working; downloading ximian and resolving the dependencies for evolution is about 2 hours (ADSL) and you get Evo 0.13 on a SuSE 7.2 system. Evo 0.13 is noticably improved over 0.11. Ximian definitely took their time supporting SuSE 7.1 and 7.2 (and Mandrake 7.2 and 8.0). But they are currently supporting these distos now. Ximian has been very responsive to email comments from SuSE users in the last week that I am aware of.
