Description of problem:
Evolution does not start anymore (cannot initialize the Ximian Evolution shell:
Configuration Database not found).
The "usual" methods to resolve this (moving/removing $HOME/evolution and
$HOME/.gnome) do not work. Major strangeness going on. 
strace results etc available on request.

Have you upgraded mozilla?  Also, if you run `killev ; wombat` in a terminal,
what output do you get?

Comment 2 Christian Huettermann 2002-06-17 19:43:12 UTC
you got it. i've upgraded mozilla with the latest rpm from porkchop. the
dependency killed my evolution because it has not been able to find libraries in
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.0. wombat didnt want to start because of missing libs. 
adding this path to /etc/ld.so.conf fixed this for me.
You might want to check out an additional dependency or a proper path selection
for mozilla 'though.
Thanks for the hint.

Blizzard and I are already working on coordinating this in rawhide by getting
evolution linked with an rpath.
