+---------------------

+If you don't have 3.1.17 installed on your system or Evolution doesn't
+detect it for some reason, here is a way to get Evolution to link to
+it without messing up your system installation.
+
+  * Get the Sleepycat tarball from:
+
+      http://www.sleepycat.com/update/3.1.17/db-3.1.17.tar.gz
+
+  * Compile according to instructions, but installing into some custom
+    prefix, e.g:
+
+      ../dist/configure --prefix=/home/user/berkeleydb-3.1.17

+
+      ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gnome
+      --with-db3-includes=/home/user/berkeleydb-3.1.17/include
