I made a post on FedoraForum.org asking for people to test my RPM. If anyone here wants to try it, I've uploaded it to http://turnipspatch.com/misc/inkscape-0.40-1.fc3.i386.rpm
I hope Ted can shed some light on this :(.
Cheers Jonathan

Okay. I took them all out, and tried to run inkscape, but nothing happened. As in zero, zilch, nada. The cursor just sat there on the line beneath the "inkscape" command. So I quit that, and put all the extensions back in. I then took them out one by one, and when I took out the one called "gimpgrad.inx", it again wouldn't do anything when I ran the "inkscape" command. So I believe we have a culprit, although I'm not entirely sure what I should do now.
Hmm interesting, that wouldn't have been the one I'd have guessed.
So to recap, you're getting a failure during Extension initialization where it complains about an improperly freed pointer, presumably a string, that appears related to the gimpgrad.inx extension.
Ted can you help give some guidance on this?
Just out of interest, do you think this problem is specific to me, or would it happen to anyone using the RPM I built? Because if it would happen to anyone then I guess it's more serious.
Aha, this is why you shanghai a couple friends into testing it. ;-)
Go ahead and see if you can find someone to test it, and see if they get the same problem. That'll be good to know.
Let's move this over to the inkscape-devel@ list, it's gotten a bit too nuts and bolts for the user list.
