Also, check where libgc is installed. By default, the configure script uses a prefix of /usr/local/, but I had to set --prefix=/usr in order to get inkscape to compile. This was on Ubuntu.
I never looked to see if inkscapes configure script had an option to set where to look for libgc.
Cheers, Rob.

A couple of things:
- did you install libgc version 6.4? also, i am assuming you did do a
"make install" for libgc.
- you can grab rpms for inkscape dependencies from
http://inkscape.org/rpms/fc2/ -- these should work for fedora core 3, as well.

Howdy...just heard about Inkscape this AM. I am not a developer, would be a casual user at best, but would like to take a gander. User, repeat USER, of Fedora Core 3. Not a coder, programmer (or even artist for that matter!) However I'm having problems compiling.
When I ran configure it told me configure: error: libgc (the Boehm Conservative Collector) 6.4+, is needed to compile Inkscape -- http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc
Fair enough. I got it (and thanks for including the URL) and it compiled fine without me changing or doing anything--just accepted its defaults and whiz, in it went. OK, back to Inkscape and configure croaks at the same place. Same error message.
What do I need to do to have Inkscape know this is in, or how do I need to compile, install, whatever to communicate that?
Thanks-
