Re: [Evolution] Cannot initialize the Ximian Evolution shell:

[Jeff Boerio <boerio ichips intel com>]

This is what I get for doing stuff at 2am.

With previous versions, I had a wrapper (evolution) that set the environment 
variables as necessary, then exec'd evolution.bin (which I had mv'd from 
evolution).

Well, since I was doing a "make install" I created evolution.sh and hadn't
mv'd the evolution binary yet.  Sigh.

Thanks, Chris, as now it's all working.
