Can we please not list autopackage first? Only a very few set of people will have the right libraries needed to make autopackage work. People should use it only if they have none specific for their distro and they feel like gambling. :)
Sure, go ahead and fix it up so it's more obvious what's what.
I have a feeling that one of the reasons Bob was getting a lot of hits was because it wasn't clear where the windows binaries were.

Okay, done. It's not easy for me to push web site updates... my sf user is kinda wonky. Can someone update the site with current CVS?

What libraries might people be missing? As far as I know we only depend on glib2 right now. That's fewer deps than Inkscape!
Remember that autopackage downloads and installs the core code on the fly if needed.

But if you're running older GTK, it won't work. For example, autopackage inkscape doesn't work on Suse 9.0.

It needs GTK 2.2 not 2.0 yes, but 2.2 has been out for quite some time now.
It's also trivial to fix, but this is the sort of thing relaytool was designed for, ideally Inkscape needs to adapt at runtime to the capabilities of the system. I think you only really use the fullscreen stuff from it, right?

Oh, one other thing I noticed is that it's billed as being for RPM based distros only. I'm not sure where this idea came from, autopackage works fine on Debian, Gentoo and Slack as well. It doesn't make any assumptions about the package manager in use (if any).
