Is there some trick to make Inkscape 0.44pre4 work on SuSE 10.1? I compiled it from sources and now I can't get it working (SIGSEGVs). I looked from sources and gdb it and find out it's something to do with UTF-8. Some one got clue how to make this work??
First, it would be nice if you could please open a bug report and include the gdb output with it. Also, what window manager do you use?
Oh.. I filed the bug report. This machine I use KDE but I should test it on GNOME (on work). Gdb doesn't give anything useful:P It crashes on thread or something and just shows libc calls...
Then, have you had a look at the 0.44 Release Notes? http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?Release_Notes#Known_problems
Especially the Composite, defective themes and maybe libgc-6.7 sections would apply here.
Hmm... SuSE 10.1 seems to shipe GC 6.6. I Have compile newest one and check the DAN again. Everything went better after removing gtk-qt (this should be make to work in future. Because you can't ask to remove it from SuSE because it's installed default)
For the record, the shipped inkscape-0.43 on SuSE 10.1 + wmaker works fine here, but I'll try to reproduce your problem, you just have to help me a bit.
Yep, Works just fine but I have used Inkscape CVS on 10.0. So now I'm on sinky sand because 0.43 crashes on my SVG.. Like to use my SVG's.
