Hi Owen and Ralph,
I am still getting the same message although I have updated ld.so.conf with my library directory path. I added the directory path (where libgc.so is lying) to /etc/ld.so.conf and run "ldconfig" from root.
The command: /sbin/ldconfig -p |grep libgc from the command line outputs the following:
libgcrypt.so.11 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.11 libgconf-2.so.4 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libgconf-2.so.4 libgconf-2.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libgconf-2.so libgconf-1.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libgconf-1.so.1 libgconf-gtk-1.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libgconf-gtk-1.so.1 libgcj.so.5 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libgcj.so.5 libgcc_s.so.1 (libc6) => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 libgc.so.1 (libc6) => /home/ponka/ProgramFiles/lib/libgc.so.1 libgc.so (libc6) => /home/ponka/ProgramFiles/lib/libgc.so
The last two lines show that my libgc.so directory path has been added to ld.so.conf. However, ./configure still fails and emits the same error message:
--------------------------------------------------------------- configure: error: libgc (the Boehm Conservative Collector) 6.4+, is needed to compile inkscape -- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Are there any special options to ldconfig that I didn't specify with ldconfig ?
I would appreciate your help in this respect.
Thanks and regards

Owen and Ralph, Thank you! I now see the problem and will get back if I dont't get it fixed after adding libgc to ld.so.conf.

Did you run ldconfig (as root) after the install?
Nope! I didn't! Should I have done it?
Yes. Someone has to tell the system where to find the library! ldconfig searches all directories specified in /etc/ld.so.conf and adds new libraries to its cache, which is then referred to. The -v option additionally outputs the cache to stdout. See the fine manual page.
You will probably have to add your lib directory to the /etc/ld.so.conf file, then run ldconfig
