It seems that even the latest Slackware is missing a jillion libraries needed by Inkscape. But I note there are complied rpm versions for other versions of Linux. Are these self contained? Or do they need the jillion libraries at runtime?
Here is the missing library list from my ./configure: No package 'gdkmm-2.4' found No package 'glibmm-2.4' found No package 'gtkmm-2.4' found No package 'sigc++-2.0' found
I'm not sure about the particular order of the dependency chain but iirc those packages depend on each other and then upon their C counter parts. So I think gtkmm and gdkmm (gdkmm is part of gtkmm?) require glibmm and sigc++. Gtkmm requires GTK, likewise gdkmm requires gdk and glibmm requires glib. And you can of course find the exact dependencies listed in the source for gtkmm, glibmm and sigc++.
