Description
It should be noted that if NSS was usesd: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/nss.html
...then you HAVE to pass the following options to evolution: --with-nspr-includes=/usr/include/nspr --with-nss-includes=/usr/include/nss
Otherwise evolution will NOT have proper SSL support

I'm sure Dan's suggestion will work, however in my opinion this isn't a fix we can recommend for the book. The proper fix is to use the switches to configure as this bug points out.
I annoted my plan for this and the previous Evolution related bug in Ticket #1919.

Added clarification to the instructions.
- Explained that Firefox, TBird or Monkey can be used.
- Added the required parameters to enable NSS (dependency is
required, so might as well.
- Added a note saying what to do if you don't have NSS installed.

I thought this was addressed months ago. I guess not. Anyway, the problem is that configure is looking for the mozilla-{nss,nspr}.pc pkg-config files. Those would only be installed if you also installed Mozilla. The NSS package (with the Fedora patch) provides nss.pc and nspr.pc.
Lupine, could you try using this sed on configure?
Then, you shouldn't need to tell configure where to find nss and nspr. pkg-config will tell it what to do.
