I got it to build on Ubuntu 6.06 following the instructions at http://inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingUbuntu It took FOREVER to compile, well, 20-30 minutes. Far longer than the other non-trivial code that I've compiled, such as Vim. Is this normal?
Did use the instructions with "apt-get build-dep inkscape" ?
As I posted earlier, this might work with Ubuntu, but it does not work with Debian proper. At this time you get:
I didn't touch the Debian compiling wiki page, but looks like someone else had the same idea. It did work for Ubuntu though.
Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Build-dependencies for inkscape could not be satisfied.
By Debian proper do you mean Sarge or Etch? Are all updates applied? I might be able to look into this.
I suspect this is due to a package conflict in one of your deps, though I haven't figured out how to get apt to tell me exactly what the problem is.
Yeah, that sounds right. Which repositories do you have enabled? I'm not sure if Debian has the same terminology, but I have my Ubuntu looking in main, Universe and Multiverse. If the Debian box is just looking in main and Inkscape requires something in Universe (or equivalent) that may be why.
Thanks,
