I got it to build on Ubuntu 6.06 following the instructions at http://inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingUbuntu It took FOREVER to compile, well, 20-30 minutes. Far longer than the other non-trivial code that I've compiled, such as Vim. Is this normal?
Did use the instructions with "apt-get build-dep inkscape" ?
As I posted earlier, this might work with Ubuntu, but it does not work with Debian proper. At this time you get:
# apt-get build-dep inkscape Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Build-dependencies for inkscape could not be satisfied.
Same result for stable, testing, or unstable targets.
I suspect this is due to a package conflict in one of your deps, though I haven't figured out how to get apt to tell me exactly what the problem is.
I was, however able to install the RPM using 'alien'. There apparently are sufficient run-time deps.
Inkscape 0.44 itself, though, is *nice*. ;-D
