Evolution 2 on Fedora Core 2

[omar ontiveros]

Has anyone tried to install evolution 2.0 on fedora core 2???

I would like to install it but I don't want to break anything on my box.

Thanks in advance,
Omar Ontiveros

Worked fine for me, I used up2date to handle the dependencies.

Yes, I'm running 2.0.2.  I have had no problems with any of the 2.0
releases.

I am using this YUM repository on FC2:
  http://petrix.se/evolution2

I follow the instructions in petrix.se/evolution2 and got some result:

Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base
Server: Evolution 2.0 for Fedora Core 2
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Released Updates

Package balsa needs libgal-a11y-2.0.so.6, this is not available.
Package balsa needs libgtkhtml-3.0.so.4, this is not available.

my balsa packege : balsa-2.0.17-1

Any suggestion ??

Thanks,

The new version of evolution requires an updated version of libgal,
libgal-2.2. However, you already have installed an application called
balsa (another email client) that depends on your existing version of
libgal, libgal-2.0. The balsa package needs libgal-2.0 rather than
libgal-2.2. So there is no version of libgal that you can install that
will satisfy both evolution2 and balsa. Hence yum falls over.

The same thing is happening for libgtkhtml.

Simplest solution: since you're installing evolution2 you probably don't
need another email client like balsa. So rpm -e balsa and your problem
should disappear.

Either:
  yum remove balsa

Or YUM won't allow you to install Evolution 2.0.  Evolution 2.0 requires
newer versions of some packages than FC2 provides.  There may be a few
other package conflicts.  If you don't need the Balsa email client then
there's no harm in removing it.

Thank you.. I'm done.. from now I'm using evolution 2..

Is you your /etc/hosts file looking like this?

($:~)- cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
192.168.xxx.xxx     gmike.5150wtwm.com

xxx has the IP for my LAN

Also this is in my /etc/named.conf

zone "localhost" IN {
        type master;
        file "localhost.zone";
        allow-update { none; };
};

With my /var/named/localhost.zone file looking like

(gufymike@gmike)(17/pts/28)(05:35:06:Mon Nov 08)-
($:~)- sudo cat /var/named/localhost.zone
$TTL    86400
$ORIGIN localhost.
@                       1D IN SOA       @ root (
                                        42              ; serial (d.
adams)
                                        3H              ; refresh
                                        15M             ; retry
                                        1W              ; expiry
                                        1D )            ; minimum

1D IN NS        @
                        1D IN A         127.0.0.1

That should do it.  If not the real experts here can help you.

I have an FC2 dual boot notebook (Dell D505) and when plugged in in my
network (getting a dynamic IP) I can access localhost via my browser
without any problem. This doesn't work in case I have no LAN connection
(offline).

Thanks for your help

You maybe have set a host name for your laptop in your lan... put it in
/etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost name-on-lan
