Have you tried the autopackage in our downloads area? If you haven't, 
it's worth a shot. A direct link would be 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/inkscape/inkscape-0.43.x86.package?download 
- and you'll just need to change permission to executable and then run it.

Otherwise, it seems like a number of our devs and users use either 
Ubuntu, Fedora, or Gentoo.

Hope that helps...
