That is all the info I get when I try to start Evolution on my brand new
9.1 install. I tried uninstalling it (and all its dependencies) and reinstalling. Well, it works often in windows. :) But no help here. Same error. I don't even know where to start looking. Any tips/advice? Thank you. James |

Now I at least get more info, but I am way too inexperienced to make anything of it. Here is what I get from the command line: user@linux:~> evolution ** (evolution:7910): CRITICAL **: file bonobo-activation-activate.c: line 370 (bonobo_activation_activate): assertion `ac != NULL' failed (Killing old version of Wombat...) ** (evolution:7910): CRITICAL **: file bonobo-activation-activate.c: line 370 (bonobo_activation_activate): assertion `ac != NULL' failed user@linux:~> I guess I should have also mentioned before that the version of evolution is 1.4.6-16. (It is the package that came with 9.1) Thanks again for your help. |

Second, it could be missing a needed library and it getting a null pointer (sort of a bug, since an assertion shouldn't fire if debugging was complete). Could be others, too. One way to help find the path to follow is to run it with strace: strace evolution Then look at the last dozen or so lines where it bails out. There may be a clue there -- or post them and someone here may see what's happening. |

But I was trying to figure out precisely what command/tool/app would let me trace the calls a program was making, and you have given that to. That is very useful information that I will certainly use to solve my next problem. Thank you. |
