[Evolution] Help: I screwed up my Evolution-1.4.5

[Phyt O Men]

Miraculously, I now have Evolution-1.4.6 running on my RedHat 9 machine. 
Although I really don't know what exactly made the difference.

I updated the evolution-1.4.6 (along with the devel and pilot rpms) snapshot 
for yesterday but that didn't fix it.

I also started to build Evolution-1.5.5 from source which required several 
library updates. I didn't actually complete this but I now have duplicate 
libraries on my system. Some are in /usr/lib and some are in /usr/local/lib. 
What a mess.

I also responded to the $BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH remark by NotZed and 'echo 
$BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH' returned nothing so a google on this came up with 
something about setting a path in the 
/etc/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-config.xml file to point to where the 
GNOME_Evolution*.server files are so I edited this in the 
/usr/local/etc/bonobo-activation directory to point to /usr/lib/bonobo/servers
and now Evolution 1.4.6 (snapshot?) is working.

I went all over the place to get it to work so I don't know which step exactly 
did it. But perhaps this might help someone in the future (or maybe it might 
help the developers with their installation scripts).

Regards.
