segmentation fault running evolution

[Sandra Farnedi]

I install evolution, then run it from a terminal, configure it and get the following messages. Note that I get segmentation fault when starting to write my first message.

I run evolution a second time and, when selecting to open a new message I get:
(evolution:8667): e-data-server-ui-WARNING **: ENameSelector: Could not load "Personal": Cannot open book: db error 0xffff8703 (DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery)

[Sandra Farnedi (sandra-farnedi-d)]

I discard the message I was writing and get the message:
(evolution:8667): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type `(null)' in cast to `GObject'

I close evolution and get the message:
(evolution:8667): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
