When I execute inkscape, the following is printed out in the terminal: ** ERROR **: file document.cpp: line 350 (SPDocument* sp_document_create(SPReprDoc*, const gchar*, const gchar*, const gchar*, unsigned int, unsigned int)): assertion failed: (SP_ROOT (document->root)->defs) aborting... Emergency save activated! Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it.Aborted Then a popup says "Inkscape has crashed and has to be restarted". I think it has to do with the necessity to be using boehm-gc 4.5 with this version, because with inkscape 0.37 and an older version, everything works. But boehm-gc makes 0.37 fail too! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start inkscape 2.wait for crash Actual Results: crash Expected Results: start I am running stable versions of glibmm gtkmm glib libsigc++, etc. The only development packages I have on my system are inkscape and boehm-gc
Can you post a backtrace?
