Hi All,

Trying to compile Inkscape, using MEPIS version 3.4-2, (which is the most current version). I managed to install the libpng and also zlib but then on trying once again to configure I am told that libgc is needed. I downloaded and unzipped these files (binaries, no?) but what do I do with them? I am kind of new at this. Can anyone help? I have used Inkscape in Windows but want to migrate.

If you are using debian you can just do an "apt-get build-dep inkscape". This will install the packages you need to compile inkscape. Then you can compile inkscape. If you are new to all this you can just use the version that comes with debian, i.e. "apt-get install inkscape". ATM I'm preparing backports of 0.43 for sarge. I hope they'll become available next week.

HTH,

Wolfi

Thanks so much.
