Carl and I just tried out installation of Inkscape onto his SuSE 9.x box using autopackage, but ran into a dependency issue for "GTK 2 C++ bindings". I'm assuming that is the gtkmm2 package. It said that this would need to be installed manually, however we couldn't find what package this corresponds to for SuSE (looking at YaST and rpmfind.net.)
This should have worked, GTKmm2 and libsigc++ are packaged alongside inkscape itself, see the directory listing here:

Could you send me a DEBUGLEVEL=3 log? I guess for some reason we are not connecting to navi right or something ...
Do you have a suggestion for where we can find this package? Also, it would be nice if the GUI gave some directions to look when it fails to find a dependency.
You can install it directly from above, if you want. Yes I agree it would be nice if it gave the user directions. The problem is, how do we know where to find it? In future this stuff will be a part of the skeleton metadata but only because we need it to be able to resolve packages from the native distro repositories.
Fwiw, we also had to use the `xhost +` trick to be able to see the GUI.
Yes this is fixed in CVS.
