Product: Evolution 1.0.3-rc3 "emerge evolution" completed successfully after several attepts. Durring the final emerge I was prompted to "Delete file MakeFile.old?", and it would not continue untill I answered. I chose "y" and it completed successfully. Running Evolution the first time started the druid (ximians term for wizard) and I entered in my account settings. The druid completed succfully and I was able to check my mail successfully. As I have other account I wanted to set them up in Evo as well. I selected Tools, Mail Settings and I get a segfault every time. The standard Gnome crash dialog appears and I select Close, then Evo tells me the component that handles "mail" has quit and Evo needs to be restarted.
There are a couple of bugs in bugzilla.ximian.org which seem related to this. http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18971 http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6322 6322 is interesting as it discusses Gentoo specifically.
Installing packages gob and gnome-pilot before installing evolution seem to make evo work.
added the dependency on gob, gnome-pilot is the use of "pda" Hope this solves this bug, since I'm not reproducing it here :/

Spider, try this if you haven't already: mv ~/evolution ~/evolution.original evolution Then go through the wizard (just enter anything). Then once evolution is started, choose mail settings from the tools menu. Let me know if it doesn't crash at that point.
