It maybe that the directory > permissions are set to 700. You are definitely on the right track. The directory (and its subdirectory) where libpangocairo had permissions of 700. I had to change them to 755 before I made any progress. Now I get this error: (Gecko:31008): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/usr/evolution28/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders': Permission denied The problem here is, this file exists, but not in this location. It exists at /usr/evolution28/etc/gtk-2.0/linux*/gdk-pixbuf.loaders As a user, if I try to ls /usr/evolution28/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders, I get a permission denied. As root, if I do it, I get "file not found".
