The reason to compile it is to just check and be sure that you have all the right dependencies. Once you have the right dependencies installed, then making the rpm will be more straightforward.
Hello, this is my first problem, by running: './configure'
'checking for png_read_info in -lpng... no configure: error: libpng >= 1.2 is needed to compile inkscape'
but 'libpng3' is installed. Witch korrect package do i need?
Yes, this will take some research for you to determine. I don't know offhand what dependencies to install so can't help much. The CompilingInkscape page may have some hints, otherwise use Google and your mandrake rpm tools to sort out what you need.
There may be additional dependencies beyond this one (it will just report one at a time until you've solved them all).
