Thanks to Markku Lehto for this fix:

There is a fix that works as a work around until another solution is
done, which is to create this symbolic link:

cd /usr/lib

ln -s firefox-1.5.0.10/libfreeb13.so .

Having libfreeb13.so in /usr/lib allows evolution to start ... removing it
prevents it from starting.
