Thanks. I installed the SVG modules from CPAN, but it didn't work. I managed to find some RPMs in the Dag repository though, so I got it to install. However, I seem to be fighting a bit of a losing battle here. After installation it wouldn't start up. I recompiled inkscape, and tried again, but it still wouldn't start up. When launched from the terminal it gives this message:
[turnip@...21... ~]$ inkscape *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x083332b0 ***
Try running:
$ gdb inkscape
run
(let it crash)

This could give some idea where the problem is creeping in.
I imagine this is getting frustrating but keep at it - you seem to be making good progress, and it'll put hair on your chest. ;-)
This is a very hard release to get packaged due to the wide number of dependencies, but it can be done. There were a couple releases we had back in the Sodipodi days like this when large numbers of dependencies had to be solved. It's hard but it can be done, and you'll learn a lot in the process.
