Recently none of my posts have made it to the list. I signed on using a different email addy (see above) but they still didn't make it.
Sugestions?

Now that I got through let me pose my question:
I'd suggest that the problem might be on your end. I've seen three mails from you now asking the same question; the other two were both dated yesterday. Perhaps it is not that your mails aren't reaching the list, but that mails to the list aren't reaching your account. Are you getting any messages from inkscape-user at all? There should be a handful per day. If you aren't seeing any, then you probably mistyped your email address if you subscribed through the web interface, or perhaps the list software has gone gaga. If it's just your own that you're not seeing, then I don't know what to suggest.
As for the actual Inkscape problem you're seeing, perhaps Inkscape wants a slightly different version of libpango to the version you have. That's only a guess, though, so I could be wrong. On my Debian system,
z1@...1915...:~$ ldd `which inkscape` | grep pango libpangomm-1.4.so.1 => /usr/lib/libpangomm-1.4.so.1 (0x0000003028600000) libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 (0x00002b8523497000) libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 (0x00002b8523cf2000) libpango-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0 (0x00002b8523e21000) z1@...1915...:~$ inkscape -V Inkscape 0.44.1 (Sep 25 2006)
If ldd reports different versions on your system, that could be the problem, or it could be something entirely different.
Thanks for your reply. I have two subscriptions now, and both of them are passing messages at the moment.
I installed debian on a partiion, but it is even further behind. It has inkscape 41. It had a version of libpango as follows: libpango-1.0.so.0.800.1 I copied that over and linked two libs to that instead of the newer libpango-1.0.so.0.1201.2
on my system. Now I get a new error, delaing with /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
I will continue to copy libs over from the deb partition and relink them until I run out of this class of error.
I am surprised that Inkscape does not use the latest versions of the various libraries. But whatever works :)
