Thanks for the response.

What did you do? I hope you just added /home/ponka/ProgramFiles/lib to ld.so.conf. Everything else would spell disaster. I'm asking because double entries as above are unusual. Also, the actual file should be shown, not the links.
I did exactly - that is, added my lib path to ld.so.conf - nothing else. With regards to appearing of the library path twice, I recall I, probably, typed the command twice! Due to some glitch or error or something similar -problematic! I don't know why it's showing the links - you are right.

I think this is due to your problems above. If not, the next step would be to look at config.log which you should mail me (not the list!) in case the remedies above did not make a difference.
Also, please tell me which libgc file you downloaded.
Are there any special options to ldconfig that I didn't specify with
ldconfig ?
I would appreciate your help in this respect.
As I already said, the manual page (man ldconfig) is pretty good. If you don't have time for reading you should stick to inkscape binaries, really!

Acknowledged! :)
Alright. Actually, I have installed Fedora Core 3 on my machine again - right from the scratch - this time, with only the software components I need. I will re-install Inkscape again and do everything _very_ carefully to make sure I don't do anything stupid this time around. I'll then get back to you if this error crops up again.
Thanks and regards
