You could create that directory and retry.
Obviously something in autogen, configure or an upstream make should have created it.
When I get this problem I remove all files in the tree called 'Makefile' using find, and recreate them with configure.
Hello, Ben After I got that error, I grabbed a fresh copy of Inkscape from CVS and recompiled, with complete success! Check out my comments in my message on this thread that has " - FIXED" appended to the end of the subject line. The release tarballs of Inkscape were "detecting" a version of intltool that does not come with FC3 and had never been installed on my system. Perhaps it is bundled with the Inkscape tarball? IF that is the case, it "could" account for the fact that I could compile from release tarballs but not from the CVS tree.
Are you that you need intltool at all? I was under the impression that intltool was needed by translators (generating new .po and .pot files) and possibly some developers - when working form CVS; but just to compile from source, one only needs msgfmt, as per earlier mails.
I am not sure that I know exactly what you are doing!
Ben
