Compiling Inkscape 1.1 with ponce's slackbuild worked fine.
After checking again that all dependencies are installed, Alien's version still does not work, since libpoppler.so.104 is still missing (even with libpoppler-compatlibpoppler.so.106 seems to be the oldest one I can get).
I will use version 1.1 from now on, but I'm quite confused that Alien's version seems to work on other machines...
In another thread on AlienBOB's packages, someone said you have to find a package.dep file to see dependencies. I didn't find that file nor an .info file in his package nor in his repository, so I'm also stuck about using his packages.

Here is a script I built to install Alien bobs stuff and it will show you the dependencies list.
Run it as a user when ready to install put in your password
Seems multiple programs have multiple dependencies . I love Eric's work.
the compiled 1.1 worked fine for a while, now it broke again
Code:
/usr/bin/inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.68: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
since I use Inkscape stuff like this seems to happen every few months...
thats because icu was upgraded from version 68 to version 69.1 you can although no pretty symlink the old library to the new one. And the package would work again. In the Slackers repository is available the latest version of inkscape which is 1.1.1.

inkscape: updated to 1.1.l (package for -current).
Depends on double-conversion, gdl, graphicsmagick, libcdr, potrace, pstoedit,
python-lxml, python-numpy, scour.
libcdr: updated to 0.1.7 (package for -current).
python-lxml: updated to 4.6.3 (package for -current).
python-numpy: updated to 1.21.3 (package for -current).
This means dropping support for Python 2.x because the older versions 1.16.x
could not be made compatible with Python 3.10.
Depends on OpenBLAS.
scour: updated to 0.38.2 (package for -current).
Have not tried this in my computer yet, I do not have a need for it.
Distribution: Slackware 64 -current multilib from AlienBob's LiveSlak MATE

I'm normaly using slackpkg+ to install software from Eric's repo, however I now get
Code:
localhost# slackpkg search inkscape
Looking for inkscape in package list. Please wait... DONE
No package name matches the pattern.
May be an issue on your end:
Code:
# slackpkg search inkscape
Looking for inkscape in package list. Please wait... DONE
The list below shows all packages with name matching "inkscape".
[unin] alienbob : inkscape-1.1.1-x86_64-1alien
