I solved this - it was a dependency problem: On Mon, 9 Apr 2012, Viv Kendon wrote:

And case sensitive file system. however, it was not on the machine I built inkscape on, the deb was pulled from that machine using apt-get. And it only installed gnome-vfs2-unified-shlibs, it didn't also install gnome-vfs2-unified. When I installed the latter, it pulled in some more packages: The following extra packages will be installed: dbus gconf2 orbit2 and did some config stuff after, i.e., set up dbus. So I think it must actually be dbus that is missing from inkscape's dependencies, or gnome-vfs2-unified-shlibs. Anyway, it now works for me. cheers, -- Viv ________________________________________________ Dr Viv Kendon http://quantum.leeds.ac.uk/~viv tel: +44 113 343 4864 Physics and Astronomy Quantum Information Group University of Leeds ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
