Hi, i'm running OpenSuse 11.1 64bit. I installed debuginfo packages and got the same error. Using gdb i got the following output: (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/evolution [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] /usr/bin/evolution: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/evolution/2.28/libeutil.so.0: undefined symbol: xmlFirstElementChild Program exited with code 0177. Hope this can help, best regards
i think this is a problem of a evolution compilation for your distro, but I not sure, you can update the app and try to open this fails? Thank I change the state to UNCONFIRMED
This means your libxml2 is too old. We check for a sufficiently up-to-date libxml2 in our configure script, so either the check is getting bypassed or there's something wrong with your libxml2 package. Closing as NOTABUG.
