(long post) Syncinc GPE to Evolution2: Almost a success! :(

So,

It was almost a success. And gladly, wasn't as difficult as I thought.

Here are basic requirements, if you want help with those ask, I got
some time spare to help this weekend.

1 - you need ipaq with familiar and gpe, I'm using matt's (un)official
builds (hehe)
2 - you need a linux box, with evolution or kdepim, mine is fedora core 5
3 - you need both machines talking to each other thru tcp/ip (be it
ppp or usb, whatever. In my example 192.168.0.200 will be pc,
192.168.0.202 will be ipaq)

In PC you will install (sorry for using fedora rpm names, that's the
best I can offer)

multisync-0.90.18-5.fc5
libopensync-plugin-file-0.18-4.fc5
libopensync-0.18-6.fc5
libopensync-plugin-evolution2-0.18-6.fc5
multisync-gui-0.90.18-5.fc5
libopensync-plugin-gpe-0.18-2.fc5

In Fedora you install everything with yum, so use 'yum install
multisync' and so on. I use extras, dag and livna, I know I should use
only livna or dag. Even then I love -testing branches... :)

Last of all here are the steps for the PC, quoted almost literally
from http://handhelds.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/gpe/base/gpe-opensync/INSTALL?rev=1.3

- add a synchronization group:
msynctool --addgroup gpe-evo

- list your groups with:
msynctool --listgroups

- add members to this sync-group:
msynctool --addmember gpe-evo gpe-sync
msynctool --addmember gpe-evo evo2-sync

- setup the conection to the ipaq, this is a xml file, put
192.168.0.200 and your ipaq username
msynctool --configure gpe-evo 1
- on this one you choose the evolution categories you want to sync
with. I recommend using other categories for ipaq to help deal with
multisync duplicates it generates sometimes.
msynctool --configure gpe-evo 2

Finally you can sync it with
msynctool --sync gpe-evo

Right here this is the final step. You passed thru it, it is synced.

Mine dumped right here. :(

If anyone can use this as comparison, here is the output from the last command:
