Well, first of all I can report that no version of inkscape in portage works with visio (6.2) files.

BUT now, it works very well, not only removing the 12 packages that where in stalled with the stabler version of inkscape but the latest (`) version, I had to install with this syntax: emerge -u inkscape --autounmask-write I'm thinking that ZAK(a_roo_ski) deserves a bunch of BREW_skis ?

I'm looking to get a small bucket/hoe combo (3-foot/6-inch) for under 10K. Got any suggestions? You mounted an embedded gentoo system on that tractor yet? (for real, not just pulling you leg) ????? We gotta get you linked in on that tracter...... with some pics or a video feed.... ;-) So, I was really trolling for expertise in manipulating visio files via some native linux package. Inkscape was all that google searches returned, and Inkscape could not even load up the visio (.vsd) files... I guess I was not too clear on that point. Oh well, I just had the doz dude send me pdfs. Thanks to all for the help! James
