Inkscape SVN started recently crashing on startup since it can't find any of its share files. This is because of some defines in the generated config.h: #define INKSCAPE_DATADIR "${datarootdir}" #define PACKAGE_LOCALE_DIR "${datarootdir}/locale"
I believe these should have been expanded to the value of datarootdir.
Recently, autoconf's new version changed its variable naming from ${prefix} and ${datadir} to ${datarootdir}. The change is to be able to use the new names. It is doc'd here:

It would be good if you could get this to work. Obviously it needs a tweak or two to run on both versions of autoconf.
I thought we discussed this on the list a few weeks ago?
Thankyou. I will read up and figure out what is going on. I obviously missed the previous thread, I'll go back and look for that now.
