Evolution 2.28 starts with just a window without most of its icons, buttons and menu. Revdep-rebuild returns nothing. Something like the following appears when run in terminal: (evolution:3259): evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot activate 'OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Memos_Component:2.28': g_module_open of `/usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/components/libevolution-calendar.so' failed with `/usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/libevolution-cal-shared.so.0: undefined symbol: e_msg_composer_get_header_table' (evolution:3259): evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot activate 'OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Mail_Component:2.28': g_module_open of `/usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/components/libevolution-mail.so' failed with `/usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/libecontacteditor.so.0: undefined symbol: eab_merging_book_commit_contact' (evolution:3259): evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot activate 'OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Calendar_Component:2.28': g_module_open of `/usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/components/libevolution-calendar.so' failed with `/usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/libevolution-cal-shared.so.0: undefined symbol: e_msg_composer_get_header_table' (evolution:3259): evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot activate 'OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Addressbook_Component:2.28': g_module_open of `/usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/components/libevolution-addressbook.so' failed with `/usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/components/libevolution-addressbook.so: undefined symbol: e_msg_composer_get_header_table' (evolution:3259): evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot activate 'OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Tasks_Component:2.28': g_module_open of `/usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/components/libevolution-calendar.so' failed with `/usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/libevolution-cal-shared.so.0: undefined symbol: e_msg_composer_get_header_table' (evolution:3259): e-utils-WARNING **: Lock file '/home/sisu/.evolution/.running' creation failed, error 2 (evolution:3259): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme directory scalable/filesystems of theme glass-icon has no size field (evolution:3259): evolution-shell-WARNING **: Unknown component mail (evolution:3259): e-utils-WARNING **: can't load plugin '/usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/plugins/liborg-gnome-publish-calendar.so': /usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/libevolution-cal-shared.so.0: undefined symbol: e_msg_composer_get_header_table (evolution:3259): e-utils-WARNING **: can't load plugin '/usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/plugins/liborg-gnome-evolution-startup-wizard.so': /usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/libecontacteditor.so.0: undefined symbol: eab_merging_book_commit_contact (evolution:3259): e-utils-WARNING **: can't load plugin '/usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/plugins/liborg-gnome-default-mailer.so': /usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/libecontacteditor.so.0: undefined symbol: eab_merging_book_commit_contact (evolution:3259): e-utils-WARNING **: can't load plugin '/usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/plugins/liborg-gnome-evolution-google.so': /usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/libevolution-cal-shared.so.0: undefined symbol: e_msg_composer_get_header_table (evolution:3259): e-utils-WARNING **: can't load plugin '/usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/plugins/liborg-gnome-evolution-google.so': /usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/libevolution-cal-shared.so.0: undefined symbol: e_msg_composer_get_header_table

Emerging evolution 2.26.3 which has been fine prior to upgrading to gnome 2.28 didn't solve the problem. It is from something else that I have no clue about. Maybe someone could find something from the output of running evolution in the terminal.
I am using 2.28.3 and I get no errors or warning when I run it from a terminal. Try deleting ~/.evolution/
(In reply to comment #3) > I am using 2.28.3 and I get no errors or warning when I run it from a terminal. > Try deleting ~/.evolution/ > Thanks for the info. I have done everything to solve this problem prior to submitting a bug in bugs.gentoo.org. Unfortunately none of them including deleting .evolution directory worked. A new user on my system experience the same problem so it is not from incompatible settings.
After a heavy research; while inspired by http://bugs.gentoo.org/141448 and through trial and error, I found the problem: My LDFLAGS. I removed it and reemerged evolution and I could get a fully working evolution. I have no idea why the assigned LDFLAGS caused the problem. Now, I don't exactly know if we can call it a bug. Please close this bug since everything is now resolved. By the way, now evolution loads slower, since I removed some optimization flags. I'm too exhausted to find which ldflag was exactly causing the mess. I hope my experience help someone avoid hitting such a problem. Cheers,
