Hi, I got the following error while trying to install media-gfx/inkscape-0.37: checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0 libart-2.0 >= 2.3.10 libxml-2.0 >= 2-2.4.24 sigc++-1.2... Package sigc++-1.2 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `sigc++-1.2.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'sigc++-1.2' found configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0 libart-2.0 >= 2.3.10 libxml-2.0 >= 2-2.4.24 sigc++-1.2) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. Sure enough, I didn't have dev-libs/libsigc++ installed on my system. However, shouldn't the ebuild have pulled that in as a dependency?
Same thing here on amd64. The problem is, that libsigc++2.0.1 and 2.0.5 are stable on amd64, but inkscape needs version 1.2.x to be build. The line (from the ebuild): >=dev-libs/libsigc++-1.2 should be: =dev-libs/libsigc++-1.2*
I ran into the same problem using amd64. Creating an inkscape-0.37-r1.ebuild in my overlay directory that had the change in Comment #1 solved the problem for me. libsigc++-1.2 is slotted, and as such doesn't seem to cause any problems. Either way, the current 'stable' ebuild for inkscape is broken on a standard amd64 system. The patch is simple enough that I can put it right here: --- media-gfx/inkscape/inkscape-0.37.ebuild 2004-06-24 19:06:41.000000000 -0400 +++ media-gfx/inkscape/inkscape-0.37-r1.ebuild 2004-12-14 21:47:41.477739000 -0500 @@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ dev-libs/popt sys-libs/zlib media-libs/libpng - >=dev-libs/libsigc++-1.2 + =dev-libs/libsigc++-1.2* gnome?

fixed
