Hi,
Under redhat etc. you need the *-devel rpms to compile something. When you run yum list *gsl* you should have both gsl.i586 and gsl-devel.i586 (586 is fedora maybe i386 under el5)
Kind regards

Hello Folks,
As you know Scientific Linux is intended to be a more secure and stable version of RedHat. uname -a results in: Linux "systemname" 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 20 01:05:28 EST 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux and the file: /etc/redhat-release gives: Scientific Linux SL release 5.4 (Boron) From an earlier attempts I learned to install glibmm. among other packages. This module was installed with the rpm-command: rpm -ivh glibmm24-2.8.12-1.i386.rpm warning: glibmm24-2.8.12-1.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:glibmm24 ########################################### [100%] So I-am somewhat confused that with installing Inkscape there is an error- message that package glibmm is not found, see below. So trying to install Inkscape, which is: inkscape-0.47.tar.gz the ./configure command in the end results in: checking for CAIRO_USER_FONTS... no checking for INKSCAPE... configure: error: Package requirements (gdkmm-2. glibmm-2.4 giomm-2.4 gtkmm-2.4>= 2.10.0 gtk+-2.0 libxml-2.0>= 2.6.11 libxslt>= 1.0.15 cairo sigc++-2.0>= 2.0.12 gthread-2.0>= 2.0 libp 1.2 gsl) were not met: No package 'gdkmm-2.4' found No package 'glibmm-2.4' found No package 'giomm-2.4' found No package 'gtkmm-2.4' found No package 'sigc++-2.0' found No package 'gsl' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables INKSCAPE_CFLAGS and INKSCAPE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.
Help is very much appreciated...
Kind regards, Wim Janssen P.S. Installing the rpm-package of inkscape results in the same errors.
