Hi Ralf,
Thanks for the prompt response.

configure: error: libgc (the Boehm Conservative Collector) 6.4+, is needed to compile inkscape --
I did downloaded gc from ftp://parcftp.xerox.com/pub/gc/gc.tar.Z then, upon carefully reading the ./configure error message's requirement (gc 6.4+), downloaded gc 6.5 again from http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/gc_source/gc6.5.tar.gz and configure/make/make installed it under my home directory with appropriate prefixes (and bindir, libdir, etc. options). I then tried
Did you run ldconfig (as root) after the install?
Nope! I didn't! Should I have done it? I have created bin, include, lib, etc under a ProgramFiles folder in my home directory. I specify ProgramFiles as --prefix to configure and --bindir, --libdir, --includedir, etc. as well. This installs bin files in the bin directory, libs in lib and so on. I installed gc6.5 the same way. Isn't there any way to pass appropriate directory path of gc6.5 (what should that be? I don't know!) to InkScape's ./configure?
What's the output of ldconfig -v | grep gc ?
libgcc_s.so.1 -> libgcc_s-3.4.2-20041018.so.1 libgcj.so.5 -> libgcj.so.5.0.0 libgconf-1.so.1 -> libgconf-1.so.1.0.4 libgstgconf-0.8.so.0 -> libgstgconf-0.8.so.0.1.0 libgconf-2.so.4 -> libgconf-2.so.4.1.0 libgconf-gtk-1.so.1 -> libgconf-gtk-1.so.1.0.0 libgcrypt.so.11 -> libgcrypt.so.11.1.1
I'm asking because even after years I forget that sometimes.

I don't see gcc (I am positive libgcc_3-3.4.2-20041018.2o.1 refers to gnu compiler collection!) anywhere in the ldfconfig output (what does ldconfig do?)!
I would appreciate if you help solve this problem.
Thanks and best regards
