The thing I need some feedback on is that I specified the Requires parameter listing out what appear to be the dependent libs & etc. I need to know if you try this rpm on your system and it reports that it won't install due to dependency issues.

Well, I couldn't install it in Mandrake 9.0 nor Mandrake 9.1.
Thanks for testing it.
These are the failed dependencies for Mandrake 9.0:
[root@...191... ddiaz]# rpm -i inkscape-0.37-1.mdk90.i586.rpm error: failed dependencies: gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0 is needed by inkscape-0.37-1 libfontconfig.so.1 is needed by inkscape-0.37-1 libsigc-1.2.so.5 is needed by inkscape-0.37-1 libXft.so.2 is needed by inkscape-0.37-1 libXrandr.so.2 is needed by inkscape-0.37-1 libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2.2) is needed by inkscape-0.37-1
Okay thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for feedback on.
Would you mind doing the following:
$ rpm -q | grep fontconfig $ rpm -q | grep -i xft $ rpm -q | grep 'stdc++' $ rpm -q | grep sigc
That should give an idea if you have the dependencies and I just haven't set up the Requires section properly.
Also, please try force-installing it:
$ rpm -i --force --nodeps inkscape-0.37-1.mdk90.i586.rpm
And if that works try running it and see if it works or not. If it doesn't work, then the dependency errors are correct and what we want; if it does work, then something's wacky and needs more study.
And these are for Mandrake 9.1:
[root@...192... downs]# rpm -i inkscape-0.37-1.mdk90.i586.rpm error: failed dependencies: gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0 is needed by inkscape-0.37-1 libsigc-1.2.so.5 is needed by inkscape-0.37-1
Interesting. My box at home is mdk90 but I've done some updates to it; perhaps it's closer to a mdk91 box now.
Hmm, I'm surprised the gtk+ lib didn't work. I'll have to look at that. I didn't even list sigc in the dependencies section so it's odd that it would show up at all. I don't think I've updated that lib on my system - let me know what version you have and that might narrow it down.
Thanks again.
