Subject: Evolution on RedHat 7.2
I downloaded the dependent rpms. Ran into 6 more dependencies at this
level. Tried the --nodeps Carl recommended and got at least 40 conflicts in
the installation. It just isn't worth this kind of hassle and frustration.
For the third and final time I am giving up on Evolution and anything else
from Ximian. They have a long way to go before their programs are ready for
general public consumption. I have NEVER had this much trouble installing
anything in Windows.

I will patiently wait for KDE 3 to be released.

OK - well, you must have previously installed some of these
developmental files so you can't install just the files without the
developmental packages too.

so download - I don't have the exact names but you'll get the idea...

GConf-devel-1.0.7-2.i386.rpm
oaf-devel-0.6.7-2.i386.rpm
bonobo-devel-1.0.18-1.i386.rpm
