Now the problem is other :-( When I'm trying to create a new message it says: Could not create composer window Unable to activate address selector control. The error from the system is: Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0' I looked at ximian.org and found the following: <ximian.org> Question What does the Evolution error "Cannot open composer window" mean? This=20 happens when I try to start writing a new mail message. Answer This actually means that Evolution cannot activate the HTML editor compo= nent=20 from GtkHTML. Check that: Your PATH envionment variable contains gnome-gtkhtml-editor. To check th= at=20 this is setup properly, open up a console and type the following: # which gnome-gtkhtml-editor # echo $PATH=20 You should find the directory which contains gnome-gtkhtml-editor in your= PATH=20 statement.=20 oafd is listed in your PATH environment variable.To check that this is se= tup=20 properly, open up a console and type the following: # which oafd # echo $PATH=20 You should find the directory which contains oafd in your PATH statement. GNOME_Evolution_Shell.oaf and the other GNOME_Evolution_*.oaf files are=20 readable and installed in $prefix/share/oaf, where $prefix is one of the=20 prefixes listed in GNOME_PATH or OAF_INFO_PATH. To check GNOME_PATH or=20 OAF_INFO_PATH, open a console and type: # echo $GNOME_PATH or # echo $OAF_INFO_PATH=20 Run oaf-slay in a console once before running Evolution again if you chan= ge=20 $GNOME_PATH or $OAF_INFO_PATH. evolution, evolution-mail and the other evolution-* executables are in yo= ur=20 PATH. Some users have reported that removing all files from /tmp/orbit-root sol= ved=20 the problem. </ximian.org> The first thing I found in my system was that the file gnome-gtkhtml-edit= or didn't exist. But found: /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-gtkhtml-editor-1.1 I did a symbolic link but still no luck. Then I tried with GNOME_PATH and OAF_INFO_PATH And found that in my system there is some difference as assumed by ximian= =2Eorg: GNOME_Evolution_*.oaf files are installed in: /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/oaf/= and=20 not in: $prefix/share/oaf, where $prefix is one of the prefixes listed in= =20 GNOME_PATH or OAF_INFO_PATH. So with the directory gnome between share and oaf seems it doesn't workou= t. What should I do?
