I run debian unstable. I installed inkscape 0.41 from the official packages and from sources around 10 times now. And I always get the same window at the beginning:
one by one i found all the dependencies until I have left two of them:
Extension "Grid" failed to load because a dependency was not met. Dependency:: type: plugin location: path string: grid
Extension "GIMP Gradients" failed to load because a dependency was not met. Dependency:: type: plugin location: path string: gimpgrad
I am running sid at home. Same experience. I don't know what is needed to make these plugins work. But I haven't tried yet. Hopefully Ted Gould will see this message and have some words of advice for us.
On the other hand I don't get to see the effects menu, so i have no effects at all ¿is it because of these two extensions? I followed http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?GettingEffectsWorking or tried because in inkscapre prefs, misc, i don't have "Enable script effects". I set it manually in preferences.xml adding show-effects-menu="1" to no effect. I installed python, python-xml, perl, libxml-xql-perl.
For effects and the effects menu to work you will need to build from recent CVS sources.
I did ./configure --with-perl --with-python and recognized them perfect. ¿am I missing something?
Those configure options enable embedded interpreters for future features. Currently the effects written in perl and python use external interpreters.
