Hi Aaron,
I hope you have a fast internet connection.
Have a look at http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/home.html
Install APT.
Put these two lines into /etc/apt/sources.list:
rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt SuSE/9.1-i386 packman packman-i686 rpmkeys base update kde gnome xorg mozilla samba3 ximian suser-rbos suser-oc2pus suser-guru suser-gbv usr-local-bin suser-tcousin suser-scorot suser-sbarnin suser-jogley suser-ollakka labplot funktronics kernel-of-the-day wine suse-people suse-projects kde3-stable kde-unstable security

Now run "apt update; apt install gtk2-devel --no-checksig" as root. That should download about 200MB of RPMs and install them.
Afterwards, your SuSE should have all packages at the necessary versions to compile and run inkscape.
