I'm dyin'. I put redhat 9 on my box and am trying to get Evolution to run (need an outlook replacement) (I started with 1.2.2 and have upgraded to 1.4) It pulls messages down just fine but won't send. It reports the server is out of storage but that's BS. I need someone who know's what up to give me a little guidance......

status messages are as follows.

Gosh everyone thanks for all the help! It's fixed now, so you can stop worrying!

No one reponded because all that Gnome stuff is a freaking mystery. And, I'll bet if you look at your console now, you'll see only marginally fewer random warnings and shit. Gnome is such a pig. I hate that we're effectively forced to use it these days.

Too true. Whenever I update something and get all that crap about active bonobos and orbiting gnome schemas everywhere, I just take it now as a signal to nuke the entire site from orbit and recompile the whole frickin' lot as far back as libxml2 (probably along the way needing to find and build even more recherche gnome packages with names like libsnurt, libfnig, and buggeration-2.0). No doubt with Evolution 2 you'll have to nuke and recompile as far back as X when your pango soup pixbufs are G_NOT_VALID or whatever.

Say what you like about KDE, at least it's easy to figure out what packages of it you need to install. And (gdk-pixbuf, are you listening?) it doesn't have cyclic build dependencies.

KDE doesn't suck ad bad, but it still sucks. No one has yet given me a coherent reason why we needed either. I know I was much happier running twm.

roflmao!

I'm in agreement about Gnome. As a windows junkie I know what I like in a GUI (and what I don't). IMO there's not much to like about Gnome from either end of the code. KDE's much better. (from both I'd imagine)..

Oh, bonobo went away, now I'm just getting invalid lib calls. But why the hell was I getting any of this [censored] in the first place? When I write an app I make sure it either works or it doesn't, and if an exception happens, not only do I report it, I friggin put out a possible explanation and solution.

ACK.

I think that the basic answer is that they leave debug statements in their code. But it's hard to tell, since it's an incredibly complex system that became complex with no apparent benefits to offset the complexity, AFAICS.

BLFS is cool. But it's not this cool. (Warning: really big image.)

That is really cool. It'd be even cooler if my Mozilla's SVG worked properly. Squiggle, here I come.

Sodipodi will turn SVGs into nicely anti-aliased PNGs or GIFs, but that graph (which is automatically generated from the Makefile) ends up nearly 1Mb as a PNG -- too big to be a BBS attachment.
