I solved this. It is related to the earlier problem I had with freetype.
I do not know how it came about but in case anyone is interested I had
to change a line in a pango file from #include <freetype/freetype.h> to
#include <ft2build.h>
#include FT_FREETYPE_H
I then recompiled inkscape and all is well.
Please do not ask me why, I discovered it in a thread about difficulty
installing fontconfig. When I get a minute I will ask the man who
produced the solution. I can now also compile katoob which had the same
problem with freetype, but why it suddenly cropped up I do not know. I
cannot remember upgrading pango or anything.

Here is the error:

I cannot find the file pango-fontmap.c. Sodipodi appears to use
gnome-fontface.c for the fonts. I have pango installed, but I have a
vague feeling this might be a gtk2 problem. I am using gtk+2-2.2.4 in
Slackware 9.1. Can anyone help please?
