please do not mix evolution-data-server-1.8 with gnome-2.14. control-center is failing because of a change in EContactPhoto structure.
Thanks for the tip. I downgraded to evolution-data-server-1.6.2 and now control-center emerges fine. (In reply to comment #1) > please do not mix evolution-data-server-1.8 with gnome-2.14. > control-center is failing because of a change in EContactPhoto structure. >
Created attachment 101700 [details] fixed gnome-about-me.c to work with >=evolution-data-server-1.8 I fixed the code to work fine with >=evolution-data-server-1.8. This includes the following errors: gnome-about-me.c: In function 'about_me_load_photo': gnome-about-me.c:422: error: 'EContactPhoto' has no member named 'length' gnome-about-me.c:422: error: incompatible type for argument 2 of 'e_image_chooser_set_image_data' gnome-about-me.c: In function 'about_me_update_photo': gnome-about-me.c:493: error: incompatible types in assignment gnome-about-me.c:494: error: 'EContactPhoto' has no member named 'length' gnome-about-me.c:501: error: 'EContactPhoto' has no member named 'length' gnome-about-me.c:501: error: incompatible type for argument 1 of 'fwrite' It's exactly the file: /capplets/about-me/gnome-about-me.c. With this fixes, the pakage compiles fine on my PC. But this fixes are incompatible with the old <=evolution-data-server-1.6.
