Hi,
I'm currenty still using Inkscape 0.38, which was included in my Linux distribution (Ubuntu), but when I tried to compile v 0.40, I get error messages at the end of ./configure, saying that some libs (like XML) are missing. How can I fix this? Actually, since 0.38 works, all of the required libs should be installed, and I really would like to check out the new features!
TIA,
Claus

Hi Claus,
You will want to install the libraries that ./configure reports are missing. There are about 4-5 libs that were added or upversioned in 0.39 and 0.40, that you may need to upgrade. If I recall correctly, we are not adding or upversioning any libraries for 0.41, so once you get 0.40 installed and working, you should also be able to easily upgrade to 0.41.

Claus,
It is likely that you don't have the devel versions of those packages installed. Ubuntu (and I think most other distros) has different packages for using the library, and building applications against that library. To get the files that are required to build against the library you'll need to the devel package to build against.
