Hi again,
I've just found out that Inkscape no longer compiles on Debian Squeeze (Crunch Bang Linux variant, with back-ports), Inkscape trunk revision 10990. It fails on the first file with the following message:
----- CXX arc-context.o In file included from /usr/include/glibmm-2.4/glibmm/balancedtree.h:29, from /usr/include/glibmm-2.4/glibmm.h:83, from ./io/inkscapestream.h:14, from ./xml/repr.h:24, from display/canvas-grid.h:15, from sp-namedview.h:26, from arc-context.cpp:30: /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gtree.h:28:2: error: #error "Only <glib.h> can be included directly." -----
Last time it compiled correctly was with revision 10962 (I use it on a rather slow netbook that is not updated it as regularly as my other computers or VMs...)
Squeeze uses libgk2-2.20.1 and libglib2-2.24.2 . Maybe it's too old for the trunk?
