Comment 2 Joe McCann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-07 02:25:48 UTC 
try recompiling with sane cflags first off.
Comment 3 Christopher Zapart 2004-10-07 02:52:21 UTC 
Following your advice I removed the "-O3" flag completely whilst leaving all the other
flags in.
Recompiling inkscape without the -O3 flag fixed the startup error. I have no further
issues to report (for now :-) ). Thanks for your help!
