try: emerge gtkhtml

and then try again

[Comment 2 Narada Sage 2003-03-18 20:37:18 UTC]

This problem was initially caused by an upgrade of gal.  After the upgrade, my solution was to re-emerge gtkhtml, libgtkhtml and evolution after which everything worked fine.

[Comment 3 Björn Michaelsen 2003-03-18 22:05:24 UTC]

changed severity to trivial, since

    emerge gtkhtml libgtkhtml evolution && killev

did the job. I already reemerged the gtkhtml before posting the bug, but obviously forgot killev .... Sorry.
