Thanks. I installed the SVG modules from CPAN, but it didn't work. I managed to find some RPMs in the Dag repository though, so I got it to install. However, I seem to be fighting a bit of a losing battle here. After installation it wouldn't start up. I recompiled inkscape, and tried again, but it still wouldn't start up. When launched from the terminal it gives this message:
[turnip@...21... ~]$ inkscape *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x083332b0 ***
Emergency save activated! Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it.

sounds like you need the perl svg module svg.pm which you can get from cpan.org

Hi,
I've tried to build an RPM of Inkscape 0.40 on FC3, but I keep
getting
an error:
RPM build errors: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /usr/lib/inkscape/plugins/libgimpgrad.a /usr/lib/inkscape/plugins/libgimpgrad.la /usr/lib/inkscape/plugins/libgimpgrad.so.0.0.0
Anyone know what that means?
I got some help at fedoraforum.org. The RPM compiles now, with the addition of "%{_libdir}/inkscape/plugins/*" in the %files section.
The problem now is dependencies. I get a very strange error when trying to install the RPM:
[root@...21... ~]# rpm -Uvh /home/turnip/rpm/inkscape/*.rpm error: Failed dependencies: perl(SVG) is needed by inkscape-0.40-1.i386
Usually I'd just go and get whatever package I need, but I don't think this one is my fault. For a start, perl(SVG) is a very strange package name, and for seconds, it doesn't seem to be available anywhere. So I am thinking that maybe there is a dependencies problem?
Forgive me if I've got this totally wrong; I'm not very savvy with package building.
Also, if and when I build it, who should I send it to so that they
can
upload it on SourceForge?
There's a bunch of us that can post it. I'd be happy to if nobody
else
speaks up.
Make sure to test installation of it on a couple systems beyond your
own
environment, just to check it's ok.
Bryce
Unfortunately I just have the one system available to me to test it on. I'd guess that something is better than nothing, but if you have to have more substantial testing then I won't be able to help :(
Cheers
