I've been compiling current inkscape on Ubuntu 8.04 without problems. First time around configure keeps stopping because dev packages aren't installed, but I think they were all available using synatpic, ubuntu's package manager, so it's just a matter of installing them all the first time.

Inkscape version 46 requires many updated libraries. I have a main Slackware partition that lacks many libraries altogether. I installed Debian on a spare partition but some libraries were obsolete. Plus I had to go through build-install just to get the needed compiler. And there is an elusive XML Perl module that most distros don't have.
So here is my question: is there a Linux distro that has the requirements for compiling Inkscape 46 without requiring me to chase all over the internet looking for the bits and pieces? I don't care if it is stable or unstable.
