Does this work better when you have net-mail/libpst-0.6.38 installed?
Ok, I was fixing the automagic-plugins patch tonight and with net-mail/libpst-0.6.37, I get a nice compilation error: make[4]: entrant dans le répertoire « /var/tmp/portage/mail-client/evolution-2.26.3/work/evolution-2.26.3/plugins/pst-import » ../../doltcompile x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I -I../.. -DGETTEXT_PACKAGE="\"evolution-2.26\"" -DLOCALEDIR="\"\"" -DORBIT2=1 -pthread -I/usr/include/evolution-data-server-2.26 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/gconf/2 -I/usr/include/libsoup-2.4 -I/usr/include/libbonobo-2.0 -I/usr/include/orbit-2.0 -I/usr/include/dbus-1.0 -I/usr/lib64/dbus-1.0/include -I/usr/include/bonobo-activation-2.0 -I/usr/include/libgnomeui-2.0 -I/usr/include/libart-2.0 -I/usr/include/gnome-keyring-1 -I/usr/include/libgnome-2.0 -I/usr/include/libbonoboui-2.0 -I/usr/include/libgnomecanvas-2.0 -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/include/gnome-vfs-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/gnome-vfs-2.0/include -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/gail-1.0 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/libpng12 -I/usr/include/libglade-2.0 -I/usr/include/libgtkhtml-3.14 -I/usr/include/enchant -I/usr/include/libgtkhtml-3.14/editor -I/usr/include/nss -I/usr/include/nspr -I/usr/include/libpst-2 -O2 -march=native -ftree-vectorize -pipe -g -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wno-sign-compare -MT pst-importer.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/pst-importer.Tpo -c -o pst-importer.lo pst-importer.c pst-importer.c:69:27: erreur: libpst/define.h : Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type pst-importer.c:78: erreur: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘pst_desc_ll’ pst-importer.c:79: erreur: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘pst_desc_ll’ pst-importer.c: In function ‘pst_import_file’: pst-importer.c:452: erreur: ‘pst_desc_ll’ undeclared (first use in this function) pst-importer.c:452: erreur: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once pst-importer.c:452: erreur: for each function it appears in.) pst-importer.c:452: erreur: ‘d_ptr’ undeclared (first use in this function) pst-importer.c:475: erreur: too few arguments to function ‘pst_parse_item’ pst-importer.c:488: erreur: too many arguments to function ‘pst_import_folders’ pst-importer.c: Hors de toute fonction : pst-importer.c:499: erreur: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘pst_desc_ll’ pst-importer.c: In function ‘pst_import_folders’: pst-importer.c:501: erreur: ‘pst_desc_ll’ undeclared (first use in this function) pst-importer.c:501: erreur: ‘d_ptr’ undeclared (first use in this function) pst-importer.c:504: erreur: ‘topitem’ undeclared (first use in this function) pst-importer.c:509: erreur: too many arguments to function ‘pst_process_item’ pst-importer.c: Hors de toute fonction : pst-importer.c:543: erreur: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘pst_desc_ll’ pst-importer.c: In function ‘pst_process_item’: [snip] pst-importer.c:1340: erreur: used struct type value where scalar is required pst-importer.c:1341: erreur: incompatible type for argument 2 of ‘e_cal_component_set_location’ pst-importer.c:1408: erreur: used struct type value where scalar is required pst-importer.c:1420: erreur: invalid operands to binary != (have ‘pst_string’ and ‘int’) pst-importer.c: In function ‘pst_init’: pst-importer.c:1709: attention : implicit declaration of function ‘DEBUG_ENT’ pst-importer.c: In function ‘get_pst_rootname’: pst-importer.c:1740: erreur: too few arguments to function ‘pst_parse_item’ pst-importer.c:1752: erreur: invalid operands to binary == (have ‘pst_string’ and ‘void *’) pst-importer.c:1759: erreur: incompatible type for argument 1 of ‘g_strdup’ make[4]: *** [pst-importer.lo] Erreur 1 my take is to disable this stuff unless someone comes up with a patch.
Fedora has also dropped its support recently in 2.26: %changelog * Fri Jul 10 2009 Matthew Barnes <mbarnes@redhat.com> - 2.26.3-2.fc11 - Drop libpst requirement until its API stablizes.
Fixed in 2.26* by disabling the plugin. I'll close this LATER, please reopen when libpst API stabilizes, we will have to try again with 2.28.
*** Bug 317443 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Can we try libpst with Evolution 2.28.x or 2.30.x? I have a huge amount of messages in some Exchange .PSF files waiting to be imported into Evolution. Also, can this bug get re-assigned to the trackers for Gnome 2.28 or 2.30?

There is libpst 0.6.45 available upstream, and unfortunately development seems to have ceased on this library. There's a most illuminating discussion on using this package with Evolution at http://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/libpst/+bug/317602 and also http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208426 After reading all that above, I'm pretty sure we need libpst 0.6.24 to have a successful build. Perhaps I should ask to have that added to the repository and test. To have it working with libpst 0.6.27, it needs a small patch. libpst >= 0.6.29 changed its API and would need fixing upstream. :S Also, the PST use flag seems to have been removed from the ebuilds.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603234 reports a successful outcome for 2.28.x. Please can we get this up and running?
Please do not re-add people that removed themselves from CC, it's impolite. pst plugin was removed because libpst API is unstable. If upstream disappeared, then bad luck, you are free to contact libpst upstream or fork the project to make it suitable for inclusion again. About bugs in other distros, I didn't even read it as evolution upstream acknowledged the libpst API problem and simply stopped development on the plugin until it is API stable.
http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit?id=fd66fd1800b1f32f1de9f0b19749a11e7f8377b6 This one adapts for use with libpst 0.6.41, which we do have in the repository.
