Also... could you please use more descriptive subject lines in the
future? As this list gets more and more email, people who know how to
fix these problems may not notice your issue. Something like "Crashed
on startup with 'invalid pointer'" would be a perfect subject in this
case. :-)
Anyway, enjoy Inkscape with Slackware!

I downloaded the stable tarball to my Slackware system and

Inkscape-current and it compiled like a champ.
I had previously downloaded/installed the Freerock gnome package. Slack no
longer contains Gnome.
BTW it still doesn't work:
---------------------------------------
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x0865ebc0 ***
Emergency save activated!
Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.
If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at
www.inkscape.org
with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix
it.
-----------------------------------------
I am thinking of adding another partition just to get a working
Inkscape. Is there a Linux distro that comes with Inkscape?
