For the last few weeks I have been trying to install the latest autopackaged version of the Inkscape developer's release (which I think is from September 24) on my machine. While it seems to install correctly, attempting to run it starts the loading process but never actually loads the application.
I've tried running it on Xandros, Mepis and Kubuntu and I get the same problem.
The 42.2 release, on the other hand, installs and loads just fine.
I'm not sure if there's a logfile that might have more information about the problem, so I wanted to report the problem first and see if any of you have suggestions as to how I might get you more useful data.
I appoligise that I haven't been very dependable with fresh autopackages lately. I expect a slight machine upgrade soon. Hopefully compiling won't be so painful then.
It seems that I've screwed something up since the 42.2 release. I would very much appreciate some help tracking this down. The autopackage runs perfectly on my Ubuntu box, so it isn't immediately visible to me what is broken. You may be able to see more information by running Inkscape from a shell, or even with gdb.
I'd also like to get people on as many different distributions as possible to test the autopackages, so that I can avoid all the little packaging bugs I ran into last time.
