After experiencing repeated Evolution crashes with CentOS4, I managed to
rebuild FC3 evolution from sources under CentOS4.  What worked for me
was building/installing from the the following SRPMS in the order shown:

libsoup-2.2.2-1.FC3.src.rpm
libgal2-2.2.5-1.src.rpm
evolution-data-server-1.0.4-3.src.rpm
evolution-2.0.4-4.src.rpm

to get the following RPMS:

libsoup-devel-2.2.2-1.FC3.i386.rpm
libsoup-2.2.2-1.FC3.i386.rpm
libgal2-devel-2.2.5-1.i386.rpm
libgal2-2.2.5-1.i386.rpm
evolution-devel-2.0.4-4.i386.rpm
evolution-data-server-devel-1.0.4-3.i386.rpm
evolution-data-server-1.0.4-3.i386.rpm
evolution-2.0.4-4.i386.rpm

I expect a similar approach would work using the FC4 or development
SRPMS if you want evolution-2.2.2.x.  Perhaps this should be in
[centosplus] given the buggy evolution versions still shipping.  See:
