There is also an #evolution IRC channel on irc.gnome.org.
-Evolution depends on the following non-core gnome libraries: bonobo,
-gdk-pixbuf, gnome-print, gnome-vfs, gtkhtml, libglade, and libunicode.
-(These are all in GNOME CVS, in the modules by those names.) You also
-need a recent copy of ORBit. At the present time, the version in Helix
-GNOME is the only released version that is new enough. If you don't
-have that, you should check out ORBit from GNOME CVS with the option
-"-r orbit-stable-0-5" to get the recent stable branch.
-
-The Palm-synchronization code requires the pilot-link package. There
-is most likely a package for this in your OS of choice (the name may
-be "pilot-link" or "libpisock"). If not, you can get the source at
-ftp://ryeham.ee.ryerson.ca/pub/PalmOS/
+Evolution depends on the following non-core GNOME libraries, which
+are all in GNOME CVS under the given names.
+
+ bonobo - Evolution always tracks the latest CVS versions of
+ bonobo. Released versions will virtually always be too old.
+ Note that this must be installed with the same --prefix as
+ gnome-libs for the Makefiles to work properly.
+
+ gdk-pixbuf - 0.7.0 (or later?)
+
+ gnome-print
+
+ gnome-vfs
+
+ gnome-xml - currently, only 1.8.7 works. Earlier versions have
+ a bug in code that Evolution needs, and the 2.0 branch is not
+ source or binary compatible. If you get this from GNOME CVS,
+ use the tag "LIB_XML_1_X".
+
+ gtkhtml - Evolution might work with the released versions of
+ this, but the CVS versions tend to be less buggy and more
+ featureful.
+
+ libglade
+
+ libunicode

+The Palm-synchronization code, when it is incorporated, will require

+not, you can get the source at ftp://ryeham.ee.ryerson.ca/pub/PalmOS/
