I downloaded the stable tarball to my Slackware system and immediately ran into compile problems. So on a hunch I downloaded Inkscape-current and it compiled like a champ.
I had previously downloaded/installed the Freerock gnome package. Slack no longer contains Gnome.
Had the same problem with Inkscape and frg on Slackware. Either build inkscape yourself or try this package, ith worked here.

Well I did what Lars suggested and it works! There is one little gotcha. The package should not be untarred in /usr/local/ but rather in /. Perhaps I should have used pkgtool. In any case version 44 works now on my system.
I'll have to save inkscape 44 before upgrading to a more recent version however. I don't want to go through library hell all over again.
My thanks to those who offered advice.
