Thanks, John. 
I'm running Mandrake 8.1, which is a Red Hat derivative. I have 
everything in the dependencies list, just older versions, as part of 
installing GNOME , ie evolution v0.13. I like Evolution, but the 
version I have is "crashy"- daemons keep dying and aren't re-spawned. 

If Ximian Desktop has all the necessary tools and components, I'll go 
that route to upgrade it.
