I downloaded the stable tarball to my Slackware system and
immediately ran into compile problems. So on a hunch I downloaded
Inkscape-current and it compiled like a champ.
I had previously downloaded/installed the Freerock gnome package. Slack no
longer contains Gnome.
BTW it still doesn't work:
---------------------------------------
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x0865ebc0 ***
Emergency save activated!
Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.
If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at
www.inkscape.org
with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix
it.
-----------------------------------------
I am thinking of adding another partition just to get a working
Inkscape. Is there a Linux distro that comes with Inkscape?
