[COLUG] Compiling Evolution

I am trying to compile the groupware program Evolution, version 2.10.2
under Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn). Feisty comes with Evolution 2.10.1.

I download the source files and extracted them into a folder. I ran
the ./configure script. It complained about missing libraries.  I used
Synaptic and downloaded the appropriate library.  Finally, I
got ./configure to complete without error. It did, however, issue a
warning about iconv.

When I run make, it fails on a compile statement saying that it can't
find nspr.h.  If I do a locate, I find nspr.h
at /usr/include/firefox/nspr.  I looked at the output of ./configure and
it said that it found nspr.

Any ideas?

P.S. The reason I am trying to compile Evolution is that it appears that
the version of Evolution with Feisty has a broken print dialog. There is
no way to select the paper size and Evolution defaults to A4 rather than
letter. My previous version (2.6.1) of Evolution had a 'paper' tab on
the print dialog that let you select, among other things, the paper
size. This tab is missing on 2.10.1
