I have problems installing Inkscape 0.37 in Fedora Core. While compiling, it keeps asking for the Libsigc++-1.2 library. I have installed it, but Inkscape can't locate it.

The compiler suggests that i may edit the variable_path in pkg-config. But where is it? How do i do that? (I couldn't figure it out by "man pgk-config") Did somebody else already solved the problem?

I had this problem to. I solved it with the following:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/pkgconfig; export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

The path needs to be the folder that contains sigc++-1.2.pc. In my case this was /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

HTH Matt

Worked perfectly! Thank you very much!

Just to let the trick known to other newbie users like me, this is a command that must be issued in the console just before compiling (./configure, make, make install procedure).

Do as follows:

1) untar the inkscape-0.37 so that you have the [inkscape-0.37] folder. 2) change to that folder and issue PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig; export PKG_CONFIG_PATH (assuming that your libsigc++-1.2.pc is in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig folder) 3) after that, issue ./configure and so on.

Happy inkspacing.
