First thanks for the above... worked like a charm... second if anyone else does this there is a hitch. You keep getting an error libgal.so.19 is needed by libgtkhtml20-1.0.4-4mdk Now the above are both needed by evo 1.0.8 and will get replaced as soon as you install evo 1.2.1 so I had to do rpm -e libgtkhtml20 gtkhtml --nodeps Then urpmi evolution And everyting was kosher once again...
