Sorry all, I botched the last reply..

I use slackware 10 and have seen a similar message. You need to download and compile the libs referred to (Google will help) and then what I found I needed to do was export the pkgconfig path because some of the package files are put in /usr/local/... instead of where pkgconfig normally looks. I suspect changing the install path for the packages themselves would also fix this but ... I didn't.

#!/usr/bin/bash
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
./configure
make
make install

This works for me.

Regards Jamie

Er... freetype-devel?

On Debian, it's called libfreetype6-dev (debian uses -dev instead of
-devel). On Debian, installing libpango1.0-dev will pull in freetype
(inkscape needs both).
      
sorry,  another trouble:

'configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4.0  libxml-2.0 >= 
2-2.4.24  sigc++-2.0 >= 2.0.3  gtkmm-2.4  ) not met; consider adjusting the 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard 
prefix so pkg-config can find them.'

my english is not verry good; so what have i to do?
    

I think you need to install the -devel or -dev packages for all of those
libraries, if they are not already installed.
