Consequently Evolution 3.0.x requires the Gnome 3.0 libraries. To install Evo 3.0 on a non 3.0 Gnome system requires you to compile versions of the 3.0 libraries for Evo to use. To be honest, if you are unsure how to deal with the Evo tar ball, then it may not be a good idea to venture into the realms of compiling Gnome libraries.
Mint 9 is quite old now - you may be better of upgrading to Mint 11 - but since that is based on Ubuntu 11.04 and consequently Gnome 2.32, you will still only have Evo 2.32 - but at least that is just about supported still.
