You will need at least evolution 2.0.4 (i.e. not yet released, and cvs
doesn't even have the patches yet) or evolution 2.1.3 for it to work
very well on a 64 bit machine.  I only got an amd64 box last week to
debug some of these issues.  

It may be that the db file format changes between architetures too, in
which case you may need to do more than just drop the .db file in - but
it may not be an issue too.

As for your clearing .evolution, because we use this gconf/registry
rubbish, you'll have to also clear the registry settings for the
addressbook 'sources' to really clear the settings, that is why the old
ones you created are still 'visible but not there'.

I just upgraded to an Athlon 64 and loaded 64 bit SuSE 9.2. I had SuSE
9.2 on my previous 32 bit hardware. The Evolution version is 2.0.1.

&quot;We were unable to open this addressbook. Please check that the path
exists and that you have permission to access it.

I carefully went through the directories in ~/.evolution but couldn't
find anything out of place. I renamed ~/.evolution to something else
and reinstalled. Doing this created a new ~/.evolution directory, but
selecting the contact list brought up the same address book names, and
the same message. So I'm missing a directory somewhere with information
in it.
