I'm trying to build inkscape on Mandriva Linux 2005LE x86_64. Unfortunately, the build fails on the check for gc/libgc. Here's the output:
checking gc.h usability... no checking gc.h presence... no checking for gc.h... no checking gc/gc.h usability... yes checking gc/gc.h presence... yes checking for gc/gc.h... yes checking for GC_init in -lgc... no checking for GC_malloc in -lgc... no checking for GC_realloc in -lgc... no checking for GC_free in -lgc... no configure: error: libgc (the Boehm Conservative Collector) 6.4+, is needed to compile inkscape -- http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc
However, gc is installed (version 6.5), and inkscape 0.41 did compile on exactly the same config. On Mandriva Linux 2005LE i586 inkscape 0.42 did configure without problems, using the same gc and configure settings. Does anyone know what's going on here?
