Disclaimer - This probably should not be on the devel list, the thread
should move to the users list.

I just compiled 2.2.2-1 on my FC3 system;  All went well after several
steps:-

(1) I used yum to install all it could of the dependencies (using FC3
base, updates, extras repos)

(2) I had to download from rawhide and build and install (in this
order):
	Pyrex
	dbus
	libgal2
	gtkhtml3
	evolution-data-server
	libsoup

Some of these I had to install with rpm -Uvh --nodeps

I changed none of the .spec files.

(3) Now I could build and install evolution.

All seems to work so far, knock on wood :-) This message sent with
evolution 2.2.2 just to prove it!
