[Inkscape-user] inkscape "binary" /or/ executable for LINUX ?

+ I use debian Sarge... it comes with Inkscape .41... .44 wont load with what I have, and most of the new dependencies aren't on my CD set... so... how to proceed ?

Is there, for instance, a way to get all the required libraries together for an Inkscape .44 upgrade ?

I guess it would be easy enough to just download all the separate dependency files... the debian site has links to all of them... but, can I just install these newer packages side by side with the older ones I have ? Thought I'd ask before I broke something :)

Thanks to debian users who have done this already maybe !
