Please try to compile 0.47 pre2 instead, as 0.46 will no longer be supported in the near future. It can be obtained at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/
A tarball can be found under the 0.47pre2 section.
Cheers, Josh

When I try to compile Inkscape 46 I run into the usual lib problems. I downloaded the latest versions per the urls on the Inkscape install page but that doesn't work. I downloaded earlier versions and ran ldconfig but that didn't help. For the following products which exact versions do I need? I was successful in loading libsigc++-2.2.3. The rest don't work: gdkmm-2.4 glibmm-2.4 gtkmm-2.4
I use Slackware 13 which was just released. I installed the Boehm thingamabob (Bone Collector?).
