Just adding, there are Ubuntu packages for Inkscape 0.45. I'm using the autopackage build because of the new features.

I use Slackware but Slack doesn't come with certain necessary libraries. So I am going to set up another partition just for Inkscape, Scribus etc. I can go Debian, Ubuntu, Mandriva, whatever. What distribution would be best for Inkscape 46, considering library requirements?
I wouldn't presume to tell you which is the best distribution, but I know from personal experience that Debian has Inkscape binary packages in the main distribution. Packages in main can't depend or build-depend on packages not in main, so this implies that all the required libraries are in the system. With apt's dependency resolution, you can install them all with a single `apt-get install inkscape`.
Ubuntu also uses apt as its package manager, so it would be just as easy, assuming there are Inkscape packages in Ubuntu, which seems likely. I don't know about Mandriva, as last time I used it it was still called Mandrake.
As always, I recommend you ask your RL friends/colleagues, or people at your local LUG, what they use, as they're the people you'll be asking for advice when you want to configure something.
