Hi,
I have unstabe enabled fink installed inkscape 0.44-1004 on two of my  
computers (one G4 running fink 0.8.1.rsync powerpc, and one Macbook  
running 0.8.1.rsync i386). The builds showed no obvious problems, but  
on both computers I cannot open SVG files. Inkscape has no trouble  
importing other formats, e.g., TIFF, and it also manages to save SVG  
drawings . However, even the saved SVG has some features missing -  
such as gradients (checked with Adobe Illustrator).
When I first saw the problem opening SVG files, I thought it may have  
to do with the virtual file system (gnome vfs).  On the G4, I have  
gnome-vfs2 (version 2.10.1-1005) and on the Intel machine, I have  
gnome-vfs2-ssl  (version 2.10.1-5) , i.e. one with ssl and one  
without.  The behavior on opening SVG is always the same on both  
systems, though: I get a GUI dialog with the message "Failed to load  
the requested file", and it lists the path name to the file I tried  
to open (which is the correct path).

Another possibility is that the open and save problems may be  
related, but it's not clear to me how... I tried saving a simple  
square with no gradient from inkscape as SVG, and then re-opening it  
in inkscape - but I got the load error message again.
