Did anyone have problem with getting Evolution 1.4.5 with ximian (
exchange ) connector to run without any problem?

After struggling to get Red-Carpet to run on this unsupported platform
which Ximian recommends to fix any problems concerning the ximian
connector which Red-Carpet refused to work, i decided to try to
reinstall the ximian connector itself in hope of fixing the problem.

It ended up saying this:
"error: Failed dependencies:
        libcom_err.so.3 is needed by
ximian-connector-1.4.5-0.ximian.6.1"

So I googled this libcom_err.so.3 to see where it was coming from and
check to see if i had it in my system at all, well it pointed to this
krb5-libs file.  So I downloaded the rpm to install it thinking i didnt
have it on my system and attempted to install it.  It reported back:
"Preparing...                ###########################################
[100%]
        package krb5-libs-1.3.1-6 (which is newer than
krb5-libs-1.2.7-14) is already installed"

SO i figured this was what was causing it to not work so i forced
installed it and from that point on, my evolution now will work with the
ximian connector.  So what is different in that new version of krb5-libs
that comes with Fedora Core 1 compared to Redhat 9.0?  Now I have to
watch out for any wierd system responses from this forced install which
i know many of the components depends on this file.  Is there a known
issue on this or is this limited only to Ximian to work this issue out? 
If so then will ximian support Fedora anytime in the future or will that
be limited to Redhat Enteprise Linux only?
