configure: error: libgc (the Boehm Conservative Collector) 6.4+, is needed to compile inkscape --
I did downloaded gc from ftp://parcftp.xerox.com/pub/gc/gc.tar.Z then, upon carefully reading the ./configure error message's requirement (gc 6.4+), downloaded gc 6.5 again from http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/gc_source/gc6.5.tar.gz and configure/make/make installed it under my home directory with appropriate prefixes (and bindir, libdir, etc. options). I then tried
Did you run ldconfig (as root) after the install? What's the output of ldconfig -v | grep gc ? I'm asking because even after years I forget that sometimes.
