RE: [Inkscape-devel] libgc on SUSE 9.2 profesional

Ah very nice. I shall try this tonight. I am looking forward to not using the windows version, which is still great but I would rather use my linux box.
Many thanks for the quick reply. I wonder if this is something that could be added to the wiki?

Well, I too ran into this in my bleeding edge inkscape environment on FC4, GNOME. The solution there ultimately is to do
export CPATH=/usr/local/include
in your build environment. You will probably need to add /usr/local/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH as well.
That should get you through configure.

I have been trying to get it to run on my linux box which is running SUSE 9.2 professional and when I am running configure I get an error telling me the garbage collector is not installed. So I went to the referenced site and installed it into /usr/local/lib. Then re-ran configure and got the same error. Is there a way to indicate to configure where the libs exist using some sort of --with-<insert lib name>?
Any help any one can give me would be greatly appreciated. I would

On Inkscape 0.4.2.0, I've run across a few bugs with strokes:
- With end markers, Left arrow is bigger than right arrow (assuming
something like Arrow1Sstart, Arrow1Send) - seems to do this for large,medium,small arrows 2) The entry box for dash spacing will not accept any values 3) The combo popup for line end types gives different choices - sometimes large arrow is available, pick another marker, then large becomes available again. Plus there is often a large blank portion of
the combo list.
Thanks for your observations. I've added a new report with this info to the tracker.

Of course it would be much better if the gc library respected PKG_CONFIG_PATH like all the other goodies that inkscape uses.

Inkblotter, that's a good idea - could you make this suggestion to the gc developers? They've been receptive to our feedback in the past so would probably appreciate hearing of this solution.
