Inkscape Forum Inkscape > PDF won't open

Howdy,

I just did
bzr branch lp:inkscape

configure, make and install seem fine.
The resulting Inkscape doesn't list .pdf in open dialog,
errors if I try to open one.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Kent

Fixed.

Ubuntu 8.04 requires

sudo apt-get install libpoppler-glib-dev

Actually if you do:

    sudo apt-get build-dep inkscape

You'll get all the build dependencies that the Inkscape built for the
distro was built with.  In this case it would be the poppler headers,
but also likely things like the libwpg-dev package also.

Cool, learning about build-dep will be a time saver.

only 1 additional requirement
sudo apt-get install libgsl0-dev
