[Scribus] inkscape

Apropos Gregory Pittman's post: today I tried inkscape. The libraries stopped me. Especially sigc++. This is attached to gtkmm? Forget it.
Pasepartout ditto, wants >libxml++1 etc. Used to be more stuff and worse.
Of course SuSE 9 posts its upgrades when it feels like it and you better watch the dependencies if you do your own tarball.

ALL the self compiling vector editors on sourceforge (gill, ipe, impress) are insufferable.
