Hello,
I've been having the same problem for quite some time; the CVS version compiles but then it doesn't run. It just hogs the cpu and nothing happens and I have to kill it. Stable version works fine. There seem to be no error messages during compilation. I've tried several times, latest was a few hours ago. If you'd like any kind of information about my system libraries etc, just ask. I'm on gentoo linux.
I'd like to solve this!
Hi,
I've experienced exactly the same thing. I tried everything, removing the ~/.inkscape-dir, make distclean, --disable-mmx, changing boehm, gtk and gtkmm version, nothing solved it.
Then I changed gcc version to 3.3.4 (i compiled with 3.4.2 before), and that did it for me. (i'm on slackware, but that's probably not the issue).

One thing you could try is running it through gdb and see what it's actually doing while it's hogging the cpu. Do:

Start/stop it a few times to get a feel for what's going on. Let us know what you see.
I did try this... and from what I can remember, the result was very different from time to time. My debugging skills are pretty weak, so i didn't manage to draw any conclusion from the result. I'll compile it with 3.4.2 again, and post the gdb-results here, or create a new bug in the tracker...
