After problems with constant GNOME Evolution crashes, I was adviced to enter a couple of variables to /etc/make.conf to provide a full stacktrace: Set the following option to FEATURES setting in /etc/make.conf: * FEATURES="${FEATURES} splitdebug" Set the following CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf: * CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -g -ggdb" And after uninstalling, and installing Evolution again with these flags, these errors appeared. I am unsure if this is a Evolution problem or related to the actual ebuild. Please tell me if there is anything else i can provide you with.
