First you find the SlackBuild page for Inkscape 47 and then you search out the libraries etc. using the name SlackBuild knows them by. There is a list on the Inkscape 47 page referenced above.
I got IS 47 pre 4 working on Slackware 13 with a lot of effort. First I had to download and install the packages listed on the Slackbuild page for IS 47 from the Slackbuild repository in the order specified. That gave me a clean compile but no barcodes or other python dependent features. Then I had to download and install lxml and numpy from the same repository. I recompiled and now the python functions work.
The above is Slackware specific. I used the Slackbuild method for everything but the main program, which I compiled with the usual ./configure - make - make install sequence.
