inkscape 0.44.1 does not even open a single window, it segfaults in a less than a second... I tried to re-compile it, but with the same results. So I masked it in /etc/portage/package.mask and re-installed the 0.44 version which can be launched (though it does not work perfectly, but this is an inkscape problem).

Anyway, I copy/paste what I obtained hereafter. emerge --info at the end for the setup used to compile inkscape.

ping - is this still a problem, Patrice?
Please test inkscape-0.45.1 and reopen if it doesn't fix this for you.
(In reply to comment #5) > Please test inkscape-0.45.1 and reopen if it doesn't fix this for you. > Sorry, but I could not find time to answer to comment #4. I was too busy. Well, actually my hardware has change in the meantime (AMD Turion 64 X2 based laptop) and I did not test the 0.44* versions on it. However, 0.45* do work. I still have my old laptop, and I may try to install a 0.45 version on it; if I can boot the PC (almost totally broken power supply cable...) Sorry for the delay :-(
