However, your message gave me new energy to try again :) Maybe I can start on a beta Ubuntu 14.04 and try over there. So do I understand right that you configure stuff with; configure --prefix=$HOME/local (for example), and then add built library paths to LD_LIBRARY_PATH before launching evo? Also, how do you launch the "ESD D-Bus services" manually? Thanks a lot, Br, Emre
