To add to my previous mail, I downloaded the Boehm Conservative
Collector) 6.4+, from http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc,
did a configure, make and make install, after that again ./configure in
inkscape, but the complaint stays the same...

Thanks for your answer! I downloaded from CVS, ran autogen and
configure. But I'm afraid I´m running into lots of dependancies
again.... Autogen compained about missing intltool, but that I could
install from Suse CD. After that configure complains about
error: libgc (the Boehm Conservative Collector) 6.4+, is needed to
compile inkscape
but on my Suse 9.2 box
/usr/lib/libgc.a
/usr/lib/libgc.la
/usr/lib/libgc.so
/usr/lib/libgc.so.1
/usr/lib/libgc.so.1.0.1
is installed. For someone who is only remotely familiar with these
projects quite frustrating, I must say...
But I hope someone can help!

I figured. I mentioned it on the offchance that it had
happened to someone else who'd thought to write it
down. When I get home from work today I'll try to
install it and report the error message verbatim.

Latest Nightly Build Problem
by Christopher B. Wright
Last night I downloaded the latest Autopackage nightly
build (Linux). The installation process quit with an
error (sorry, I don't have the specific error message
onhand) when I tried to install it. I don't know if
this was due to a problem on my machine or a result of
an error in the process of creating the autopackage
build, but I thought I'd mention it on the offchance
the package is bad. Or something.
Anyway... does anyone know where I can get the build
*before* this latest one? :)

And why not convert automatically the transparent areas to a bitmap when exporting a PS?
We can't always does the "Dropper tool trick" with complex transparencies.
This is the way Freehand and Illustrator does it.

CMYK-colors wrong
by Lars Behrens
Hi there,
I have an CMYK eps-file here and when I import it in inkscape the colors
are completely wrong (too colorfull, obviously not properly converted
to rgb). When I change the CMYK values by hand, the colors are too
dull.
I always thought that Inkscape would support CMYK? If so how about an
option like in Illustrator, to set the actual color format and the one
of the imported/exported file?

Tutorial conversion
by bulia byak
We started to convert Inkscape tutorials into DocBook, with SVG and
HTML (and potentially other formats) generated automatically by XSLT
stylesheets. The Basic tutorial in English was the first to be
converted; here it is in HTML:
http://inkscape.org/doc/basic/tutorial-basic.html
(obviously there's no interactivity in HTML, but at least it's now printable).
If you want to help, pick your favorite tutorial (drop a note to the
devel list first, to make sure it's not yet taken), check out the
doc-docbook module from our CVS and follow the instructions in the
file README to convert it into DocBook and extract illustrations as
separate SVG files. This is simple work but it will be great help to
the project, since it will make much easier to update tutorials,
translate them into other languages, and write new ones.
Oh, and if you want to edit or translate or tutorial, please wait
until it's converted and work with the DocBook version. (Better yet,
convert it yourself :)

Units of coordinates
by Jogchum Reitsma
Hi,
In Inkscape 0.41 on Suse 9.2, I always set the rulers and everything I
can find on measurement to millimeters. Only the cursor coordinates, in
the bottom left corner of the main window, is shown in some other unit
(100 mm = 125 units). Is it possible to set this to mm's too?
Thanks!

Re: [Inkscape-user] Re: Exporting as PS
by Christopher B. Wright
I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss PS files. As far as
I know pre-press agencies *still* prefer postscript,
since it's possible to edit PS files if necessary.
It's incredibly arcane, but it can be done.
