Bill;
You're hitting the same wall that we hit here at my company last year. We run RHEL4 on thousands of workstations, and spent many, many hours trying to get 0.46 to build for our standard image. We also spent many hours trying to find a prebuilt package with no luck.
One of our Linux gurus finally came up with a build script that worked so that we could deploy 0.46. Unfortunately, he has left the company and when I tried using his script to build 0.47 a few days ago, it ran into different dependencies than he'd resolved for 0.46. And I don't have the time to chase those dependencies. Our Linux team is getting ready to upgrade the company to RHEL5 over the next few months, so for now we're on hold with 0.47, hoping it will build with RHEL5 the first time.
Yes.
The Inkscape development community appears to live in a utopian world unbridled by the logistic and economic forces which tend to dominate our decisions in the corporate world.
We all have Linux boxes on our desks because of the scale of processes we run. We can't afford to do our own system administration and our system administrators are not going to install a parallel, virtual operating system (Fedora) so that we can run some obscure vector drawing application (No matter how great it is. :-) )
In closing and speaking to you as a competitor, I suggest you place all integrated circuit development activities on hold and concentrate all corporate resources on this issue for the benefit the greater Inkscape user community.

Not the message you're looking for, but at least you know you're not alone! ;^)

Big Inkscape fan, but stuck on 0.44
Does anyone know where I can download prebuilt versions of Inkscape for Linux RedHat #4.
I tried to build my own but very quickly found myself in deep, library
dependency hell.
Hi William!
I dunno if this is going to help you at all, but I figure it might be worth a try - and someone else might pop up with better advice if it doesn't.
Fedora Inkscape packages are here... and they go back a little while, so might work with your version of Red Hat. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/inkscape
Various RPM binaries are here... http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=3&search=inkscape&srodzaj=3
But you might find you actually need to upgrade Red Hat to get a newer version of Inkscape that works.
Good Luck!
cheers Donna
