    <title>Installation of Evolution</title>

    <para>Install <application>Evolution</application> by running the following
    commands:</para>

    <note>
      <para>The instructions below assume you have the NSS/NSPR libraries
      installed on your system. If you elected not to install
      <application>NSS</application> (or one of the other packages mentioned
      above), you'll need to remove the following two parameter settings from
      the <command>configure</command> command below:</para>

      <literallayout><parameter>            --enable-nss
            --enable-smime</parameter></literallayout>

      <para>The <application>Evolution</application>
      <command>configure</command> script only looks for the stand-alone
      <application>NSS</application> package and the
      <application>Mozilla</application> and
      <application>Firefox</application> browsers for the NSS/NSPR libraries.
      If you are using <application>Thunderbird</application> as your source
      for the NSS/NSPR libraries, you will have to add the following two
      parameter settings to the <command>configure</command> command
      below:</para>

      <literallayout><parameter>            --with-nspr-includes=/usr/include/nspr
            --with-nss-includes=/usr/include/nss</parameter></literallayout>
