Please do not suggest to turn SELinux off at boot everytime something
goes wrong on a Fedora System.  As root you can turn SELinux into
permissive mode.   setenforce 0, then try your application, if it works
then SELinux is probably the problem, if it fails SELinux is not the
problem and you can turn SELinux enforcement back on.  setenforce 1.
Your method will cause a relabel when SELinux is turned back on.

But better yet, check /var/log/audit/audit.log and see if SELinux is
complaining about anything.  grep evolution /var/log/audit/audit.log, if
there is something there, it is a good chance SELinux is blocking something.
