I see an attempt at documenting the libs required to build Inkscape here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingInkscape, but this can not be trusted. For example, the Solaris page talks about version 0.44
Maybe this *is* a documentation problem.
The README file broaches the subject with references to the likes of Boehm-GC and gtkmm, but does not specify version numbers.
I suggest the README file include the specific list of dependent libraries and their version numbers as recommended to build the associated version of Inkscape. If they were listed in bottom-up or top-down order; that would just be so much more helpful. There is little more frustrating than taking an hour to find download and build your tenth component just to have it complain about needing three more. When will it end....

Utopia: A world where the inhabitants use operating systems which are less than five years old and the "file system" stops at the RJ45 connector on the back of the box.
It might be a good idea to inquire (on irc or this list) as to how that wiki page could be updated, and then update it once you find that the solution works. It would certainly be beneficial to others as well.
