How do you install this? I tried downloading the source and using ./configure, but it complains about missing packages which – at least some of them – can’t be downloaded from apt. It doesn’t seem to be in the usual ubuntu repositories, either. Do I have to add one, maybe?
I’d really like to know, as I’m hopeful that google calendar support has finally been implemented properly – up until now, it only showed events that did not repeat.
Thanks a lot in advance!

My tip would be first to install build-dep. this will automatically build any dependences for applications etc.
sudo apt-get install build-dep
sudo apt-get build-dep evolution
Then try ./configure && make the source again. if you still have an issue, copy the error messages package name and post it here. Also – what version of Ubuntu are you using?
