Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
This bug report isn't very useful because it doesn't describe the bug well. If you have time and can still reproduce the bug, please read http://bugzilla.gnome.org/bug-HOWTO.html and add a description of how to reproduce this bug.

You'll also need to add a stack trace; please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information about how to do so.
Thanks in advance!

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.
