- *** properly.
+Evolution also requires libgnomeprint and libgnomeprintui 2.2 (which
+are part of GNOME 2.2); so if you are compiling against a GNOME 2.0
+development platform, you will also need to install these libraries.
+If you are compiling against GNOME 2.2, you don't need to do so.
+libgnomeprint and libgnomeprintui are available from
