I downloaded the stable tarball to my Slackware system and immediately ran into compile problems. So on a hunch I downloaded Inkscape-current and it compiled like a champ.
I had previously downloaded/installed the Freerock gnome package. Slack no longer contains Gnome.
BTW it still doesn't work: --------------------------------------- *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x0865ebc0 ***
Emergency save activated! Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it. -----------------------------------------
I am thinking of adding another partition just to get a working Inkscape. Is there a Linux distro that comes with Inkscape?

You've probably upgraded gcc somewhere along the line and run into the infamous gcc C++ ABI change problem. You need to make sure all of the C++ libs Inkscape needs are compiled with (roughly) the same version of gcc as you're using to compile Inkscape.
Generally, the best solution is to just re-compile libsigc++, libstdc++, libgtkmm, and libgkdmm.

Pretty much all of them do. You've many options. But I'm 99% sure the above will fix your error; try that first.

Also... could you please use more descriptive subject lines in the future? As this list gets more and more email, people who know how to fix these problems may not notice your issue. Something like "Crashed on startup with 'invalid pointer'" would be a perfect subject in this case. :-)
Anyway, enjoy Inkscape with Slackware!

As I explained I had to use freerock Gnome because Slack no longer supports Gnome natively.

Not into recompiling libraries. Where do I find the source? Any special parameters for the gcc compiler?

Frankly, a new install is less work than chasing down the source code for these libraries, downloading it, recompiling it etc.
Does Ubuntu include Inkscape? Debian unstable? Knoppix? Other?

You can find it in Extras for Fedora Core, in a fresh installation, just go into add/remove software, run a search for Inkscape, and you're set. Alternatively, use yum from the command line like: yum install -y inkscape

Ubuntu certainly does, although not by default. It's in the Main repository, though - just install it thru Synaptic or apt-get after you install Ubuntu. Note that the version in Ubuntu's repos is 0.43, though, not 0.44 which is the very latest release.

Okay, that's probably the culprit then. I don't know what 'freerock Gnome' is, but if they're giving you precompiled stuff, then they probably have differing gcc versions than you. You might want to mention this bug to them.

No special parameters. I assume you can get the source via the websites for those projects. E.g. www.gtk.org, etc.

Don't know if it's on Knoppix or Ubuntu's live CD, but it's certainly available through those distros.
We also provide an autopackage version of Inkscape you might try; it bundles all the libs together which can help in avoiding the library mismatch issues.

Had the same problem with Inkscape and frg on Slackware. Either build inkscape yourself or try this package, ith worked here.

Well I did what Lars suggested and it works! There is one little gotcha. The package should not be untarred in /usr/local/ but rather in /. Perhaps I should have used pkgtool. In any case version 44 works now on my system.
I'll have to save inkscape 44 before upgrading to a more recent version however. I don't want to go through library hell all over again.
My thanks to those who offered advice.

The Slackware way is: "installpkg foo.pkg" or "upgradepkg foo.pkg" or using pkgtool as you considered, because this is a Slackware package and not just a tarball.
But this is getting OT for this list.
