Evolution problems (details follow)

The Mad Mahdi

Hi. I've been trying to emerge and run Evolution version 2.0.3. Whilst emerging I get a bunch of errors about libraries seeming to have been moved, though Evolution compiles and installs successfully. Then when I try to start evolution, I get the following error:
(evolution:26508): libglade-WARNING **: Could not load support for `gnome': libgnome.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

(evolution:26508): libglade-WARNING **: unknown widget class 'GnomeDruid'

(evolution:26508): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from `GtkLabel' to `GnomeDruid'

(evolution:26508): GnomeUI-CRITICAL **: file gnome-druid.c: line 870 (gnome_druid_set_buttons_sensitive): assertion `GNOME_IS_DRUID (druid)' failed

(evolution:26508): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:1716: signal `cancel' is invalid for instance `0x8011fa58'

(evolution:26508): evolution-shell-CRITICAL **: e_shell_startup_wizard_create: assertion `data->start != NULL' failed

Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve the problem? Thanks in advance.

Do you maybe have to remerge gnome-libs? Have you recently emerged world and some things for broken, like they always seem to with that option?

OK, thanks. I reemerged gnome-libs, but now I get:

This all started when I attempted to emerge a new version of evolution from Project Chinstrap... Evolution had been working fine till then, but neither the Project Chinstrap compiled version nor any other version I've compiled (from the official Gentoo sources) since has worked! :-(

Well, I finally got the chance to upgrade Evolution and now it works.
