[ale] Building and running evolution on RHEL 4

[Jerry Yu]

not familiar with Evolution itself, just some general & vague suggestions

'rpm -e' will leave config files behind (systemwide & personal). so, maybe 
your custom Evolution is reading from some old left-over config which points 
to an now non-existing data-server?
