pdf is easy to make from eps. I have Inkscape 45. What version do I need?
You need a recent development version, not 0.45.
Well I tried, but didn't succeed.
The most recent version August 19, doesn't show pdf on the import selection menu but does show ps and eps. But ps, eps and pdf type files won't import or open. Do I have to download or update something else to make it work?
Otherwise I guess I need to wait for a new stable release to use the pdf import feature.
Strangely enough the command line install of Inkscape worked better from a gui terminal session as a user than from a regular console session as root. The root run offered strange error messages, like: Cannot find "*".
Incksape uses autopackage, Sciribus uses Cmake, most other packages still use ./configure followed by make. We are I fear headed for a kind of tower of Babel with install methods on Open source programs.
