i wanna try out this program called Inkscape, but i have some problems installing it.
on the sourceforge page i found a rpm for suse 9.2 (inkscape-0.40-CVS.i586.suse92.rpm), but when i install i get this message:
Code:
error: Failed dependencies:
libatkmm-1.6.so.1 is needed by inkscape-0.40-CVS
libgdkmm-2.4.so.1 is needed by inkscape-0.40-CVS
libglibmm-2.4.so.1 is needed by inkscape-0.40-CVS
libgtkmm-2.4.so.1 is needed by inkscape-0.40-CVS
libpangomm-1.4.so.1 is needed by inkscape-0.40-CVS
libsigc-2.0.so.0 is needed by inkscape-0.40-CVS
i have tried to find rpms for these, but it is impossible! so i downloaded the source and tried to install...but got as far as:
Code:
checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4.0 libxml-2.0 >= 2-2.4.24 sigc++-2.0 >= 2.0.3 gtkmm-2.4 ... Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
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-configcan find them.
i have got gtkmm2, libsigc++2, libxml2 installed...why do i still get this msg?
Because I am new in Linux area I need description what are these required files and what to download/install to solve this problem and to be able to install Inkscape?
Oh .. I should mention. If you are having problems with gtkmm/sigc++ delete them from your system using rpm or however you installed them, then run the inkscape autopackage. It should (touch wood) download and install them for you.

WARNING WARNING WARNING - these are generated automatically from whatever the developers have checked in at the time. They are not going to be as stable as real releases are.
Once the next Inkscape stable release is out, there will be a newer autopackage for that as well but for now it's only the nightlies.
I didn't want to use autopackage, because it said in the FAQs that the RPM system wouldn't know about it.
That seems more dangerous to me than mixing repositories; I would think that: mixing repositories, you at least have consistency within the RPM system.
Though I should say: I don't really know. It's all voodoo in there to me.
