Hi,
I've tried to build an RPM of Inkscape 0.40 on FC3, but I keep getting an error:
RPM build errors: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /usr/lib/inkscape/plugins/libgimpgrad.a /usr/lib/inkscape/plugins/libgimpgrad.la /usr/lib/inkscape/plugins/libgimpgrad.so.0.0.0
Anyone know what that means?
I got some help at fedoraforum.org. The RPM compiles now, with the addition of "%{_libdir}/inkscape/plugins/*" in the %files section.
The problem now is dependencies. I get a very strange error when trying to install the RPM:
[root@...21... ~]# rpm -Uvh /home/turnip/rpm/inkscape/*.rpm error: Failed dependencies: perl(SVG) is needed by inkscape-0.40-1.i386
Usually I'd just go and get whatever package I need, but I don't think this one is my fault. For a start, perl(SVG) is a very strange package name, and for seconds, it doesn't seem to be available anywhere. So I am thinking that maybe there is a dependencies problem?
Forgive me if I've got this totally wrong; I'm not very savvy with package building.
Also, if and when I build it, who should I send it to so that they can upload it on SourceForge?
There's a bunch of us that can post it. I'd be happy to if nobody else speaks up.
Make sure to test installation of it on a couple systems beyond your own environment, just to check it's ok.

Unfortunately I just have the one system available to me to test it on. I'd guess that something is better than nothing, but if you have to have more substantial testing then I won't be able to help :(
Cheers
