I don't believe it, but I am looking at Inkscape 0.47 running on my RedHat #4 machine.
Wow! Congratulations. Well done and thank you for persevering. Your efforts are sure to be useful for others. :)
I had to download and compile 21 separate components and many of them multiple times before I found versions I could work with.
I have a build order.
Some of the components built without issue, but a number of them required pampering. I've written it all down.
I have a list of environment variables which I had to set to trick it all into working.
What would you like me to do with this information?
Posting it here, for the record, can't hurt. And possibly putting it on the Inkscape wiki... Create an account if you haven't already done so.

Maybe adding Red Hat Enterpise Linux in there, and then making a page with a heading for RHEL4 would be a good place?
