In order to use the Effect->Modify Path->Perspective menu option, inkscape needs numpy installed. Perhaps it should be included on the RDEP list?
thanks for the report, fixed in cvs.
Can we make this RDEP a USE flag option, please? I don't want to install Fortran stuffs just to run Inkscape. Thanks!
fortran stuffs? here's the emerge -ep output for numpy for me (please not the lack of fortran stuffs): [ebuild R ] sys-apps/portage-2.1.4_rc9 [ebuild R ] sys-libs/ncurses-5.6-r2 [ebuild R ] sys-libs/zlib-1.2.3-r1 [ebuild R ] sys-libs/gdbm-1.8.3-r3 [ebuild R ] sys-devel/m4-1.4.10-r1 [ebuild R ] sys-devel/gnuconfig-20070724 [ebuild R ] dev-libs/gmp-4.2.2 [ebuild R ] sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper-4-r3 [ebuild R ] sys-devel/automake-wrapper-3-r1 [ebuild R ] sys-apps/sed-4.1.5 [ebuild R ] sys-apps/sandbox-1.2.18.1-r2 [ebuild R ] app-misc/pax-utils-0.1.16 [ebuild R ] dev-libs/popt-1.12 [ebuild R ] dev-libs/expat-2.0.1 [ebuild R ] app-admin/python-updater-0.3 [ebuild R ] app-shells/bash-3.2_p17-r1 [ebuild R ] sys-apps/texinfo-4.11-r1 [ebuild R ] sys-libs/readline-5.2_p7 [ebuild R ] sys-devel/libperl-5.8.8-r1 [ebuild R ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r4 [ebuild R ] sys-devel/autoconf-2.61-r1 [ebuild R ] sys-apps/help2man-1.36.4 [ebuild R ] perl-core/Test-Harness-2.64 [ebuild R ] app-admin/perl-cleaner-1.05 [ebuild R ] perl-core/PodParser-1.35 [ebuild R ] sys-devel/automake-1.10 [ebuild R ] sys-devel/libtool-1.5.24 [ebuild R ] sys-apps/attr-2.4.39 [ebuild R ] sys-apps/groff-1.19.2-r1 [ebuild R ] sys-apps/acl-2.2.45 [ebuild R ] sys-apps/man-1.6e-r3 [ebuild R ] sys-apps/man-pages-2.70 [ebuild R ] net-misc/rsync-3.0.0_pre6 [ebuild R ] sys-apps/coreutils-6.9-r1 [ebuild R ] sys-apps/diffutils-2.8.7-r2 [ebuild R ] dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8g [ebuild R ] app-misc/ca-certificates-20070303-r1 [ebuild R ] dev-lang/python-2.5.1-r4 [ebuild R ] dev-python/python-fchksum-1.7.1 [ebuild R ] dev-python/numpy-1.0.4

Discussed here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-629600-highlight-numpy.html The dependencies shows in the compile step: >>> Emerging (1 of 8) dev-python/numpy-1.0.3 to / * numpy-1.0.3.tar.gz RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...

Cheers!
my bad, sorry. I sometimes forget I'm not running stable.
