Hello Folks,

As you know Scientific Linux is intended to be a more secure and stable
version of RedHat.
uname -a  results in:
     Linux "systemname" 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5
     #1 SMP Wed Jan 20 01:05:28 EST 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
and the file: /etc/redhat-release gives:
    Scientific Linux SL release 5.4 (Boron)
 From an earlier attempts I learned to install glibmm. among other 
packages.
This module was installed with the rpm-command:
rpm -ivh glibmm24-2.8.12-1.i386.rpm
warning: glibmm24-2.8.12-1.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key 
ID
Preparing...          ########################################### [100%]
                        1:glibmm24
########################################### [100%]
So I-am somewhat confused that with installing Inkscape there is an 
error-
message that package glibmm is not found, see below.
So trying to install Inkscape, which is:  inkscape-0.47.tar.gz
the ./configure command in the end results in:
checking for CAIRO_USER_FONTS... no
checking for INKSCAPE... configure: error:
Package requirements (gdkmm-2.  glibmm-2.4 giomm-2.4 gtkmm-2.4 >= 2.10.0
gtk+-2.0  libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.11 libxslt >= 1.0.15  cairo  sigc++-2.0 >=
2.0.12
gthread-2.0 >= 2.0 libp  1.2 gsl) were not met:
      No package 'gdkmm-2.4' found
      No package 'glibmm-2.4' found
      No package 'giomm-2.4' found
      No package 'gtkmm-2.4' found
      No package 'sigc++-2.0' found
      No package 'gsl' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables INKSCAPE_CFLAGS
and INKSCAPE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Help is very much appreciated...

Kind regards,
                                          Wim Janssen
P.S.
Installing the rpm-package of inkscape results
in the same errors.

Hi,

Under redhat etc. you need the *-devel rpms to compile something.
When you run yum list *gsl* you should have both gsl.i586 and
gsl-devel.i586 (586 is fedora maybe i386 under el5)

Kind regards
