I would like to contribute to the inkscape development, but I have problems compiling the cvs checkout. I got the checkout with the command
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@...54...:/cvsroot/inkscape co inkscape
running the autogen.sh script gives the following output

The file ltmain.sh is nowhere to be found among the downloaded files. What am I doing wrong?
You're doing nothing wrong; this is an automake quirk. I've documented the work around to this and a couple other issues you may run into after this on the CompilingInkscape page in Inkscape's Wiki, so go check that out. (Basically, copy that file from its cannonical location - see the wiki page for details).
Good luck, and welcome aboard! :-)
