Hi,
I have downloaded .gz file, gunzipped, and tried installing by:
./configure (and so forth)
The configure complained as to:
checking libgc version 6.4+... no configure: error: libgc (the Boehm Conservative Collector) 6.4+, is needed to compile inkscape -- http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc
So I went ahead and installed gc. It seemed to have gone well. Here's the tail end of what 'make install' told me:
Libraries have been installed in: /usr/local/lib
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR' flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable during linking
- use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
test -z "/usr/local/include" || mkdir -p -- "/usr/local/include" /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'include/gc.h' '/usr/local/include/gc.h' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'include/gc_local_alloc.h' '/usr/local/include/gc_local_alloc.h' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'include/gc_pthread_redirects.h' '/usr/local/include/gc_pthread_redirects.h' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'include/gc_config_macros.h' '/usr/local/include/gc_config_macros.h' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'include/leak_detector.h' '/usr/local/include/leak_detector.h' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'include/gc_typed.h' '/usr/local/include/gc_typed.h' make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gc/gc6.7' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gc/gc6.7'
So, I went back to inkscape's configure and tried the same thing as before. It is telling me the same thing as before:
checking libgc version 6.4+... no configure: error: libgc (the Boehm Conservative Collector) 6.4+, is needed to compile inkscape -- http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc
I looked at the configure script, but it is a bit too intimidating. I would appreciate a tip as to what I have to do to alleviate the problem and successfully finish the installation.
Thank you.
