A new Inkscape version has been released yesterday. Although not published on the website yet, this is a final and public release. From the mailinglist announcement by Jon Phillips: ------------------ Inkscape 0.44.1 Unleashed :: Download Now :: Inkscape.org The Inkscape community announced the release of Inkscape 0.44.1 today. This bugfix version fixes several weeks of work by the community in order to fix some crashes on windows, Mac OS X, and other packaging issues which have come up from our last successfule release, 0.44 which introduced substantial features like graphical layers, clipping and masking support, and native PDF export with transparency. Here is a full list of bug fixes in this version: * fix a crash on Windows ("python.exe can't find msvcrt71.dll") by providing that dll in the package; * fix hang in page size widget * on Mac OS X, removed problems with home folder path names containing spaces; * inkscape now finds libpng include headers on some systems where it previously failed to do so * several changes to allow compiling on glib-2.4 systems (e.g. RHEL4); * allow compiling on systems with incomplete boost library headers; recognize if boost is too old * inkscape now compiles with gcc-4.2.x. * fixed a bug where stderr output from scripts was not shown * fixed a bug affecting the recent files menu * resolution information is now saved in exported PNG files * fix some ODG export bugs * fix dia import * fix several include issues affecting building on Solaris (there are still some more problems, at least under Solaris 8, and similar ones on OpenBSD) * added missing German version of the advanced tutorial and made corrections to the calligraphy one; added missing Czech, German, and Brazil-Portuguese tutorials to tarball; added missing German keytable to tarball * applied changes to the German and Spanish translations of Inkscape strings * interactivity improvements at high zooms * fix for specifying CSS colors with percentages * re-enabled old PDF exporter alongside the new one * minor fixes to new PDF exporter (a major overhaul is still in the works) * fixup for invalid "s odipodi" namespace which has become widespread in Inkscape documents * Mac OS X packaging updates * miscellaneous build fixes Please visit www.inkscape.org and see what you would like to help the project in solving.

Only tested on ~x86. This is the first time I've submitted an ebuild so someone should probably have a thourough look at it (Note it took me several attempts to post this bugreport as the webserver kept dying, so my apologies in advance if somehow the previous ones still came through. Please ignore any previous bugreports since I accidently pasted the incorrect release announcement in them)
Created attachment 97011 [details] Updated Inkscape ebuild for 0.44.1
Doesn't seem to fix the segfault compiling with gcc-4.1.1 on glibc-2.4.
(In reply to comment #2) > Doesn't seem to fix the segfault compiling with gcc-4.1.1 on glibc-2.4. > Hmm, I'm not aware of such an issue. Do you mean gcc itself segfaults or Inkscape when compiled with those gcc/glibc versions? I have ran into no problems with the same gcc/glibc versions, with CFLAGS= -O2.
