Hi techies,

I have Redhat enterprise linux 5 installed in my computer. I need to install Evolution in it since I am using it as a server. I downloaded the bz2 file, extracted it. But when I try to configure I get a error as follows.

configure: error: You need bison to build Evolution

I have downloaded Bison and installed the same, but the error remains the same.

Pls help me to install Evolution.

1. Installing apps like evolution like that would be a nightmare with dependencies all around ("byacc" next after bison?).
2. You have Rhel installed. Do u have its subscription to access its repos for yum to work?
3. AFAIK, evolution is there in RHel DVD, you may make a local repo from that n try.
4. Redhat is basically a server distro, if u need to install desktop packages, then u shud switch to Fedora, Ubuntu etc etc ask the members.
