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 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.
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? -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost. Satisfaction guaranteed. http://wexfordpress.com
