The problem is usually associated with newer releases of bonobo or glibc
that are no longer compatible. Here are some suggestions:

1. Use yum on the development tree and upgrade to 2.02. This will solve
all of the dependencies automatically. You can set up a
separate /etc/devel.conf like:

	[main]
	cachedir=/var/cache/yum
	debuglevel=2
	logfile=/var/log/yum.log
	pkgpolicy=newest
	distroverpkg=fedora-release
	gpgcheck=1
	tolerant=1
	exactarch=1

	[freshrpm - devel]
name=Fedora Linux $releasever - $basearch - fedora - development
baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/development/i386/core

Then do "yum -c /etc/devel.conf update evolution"

2. Upgrade to Fedora 3 which includes 2.02.

3. Roll back your updates of glibc and libonobo.

4. Find another mailer.
