Hi All,

I'd like to install inkscape (http://www.inkscape.org/) on an i386 box
running SL 4.4.  When I download the package file and run it (or when I
configure; make; make install the source) I get a complaint about the
version of GTK that's installed on the machine.  I can't see a version of
GTK2 beyond 2.4 in the standard yum repositories and I note that the latest
stable version of GTK is up  to 2.10.

- Is there an "easy" way to install inkscape on an SL box?
- Is there an "easy" way to update GTK, or install an additional version in
parallel to the one YUM installs?

regards,

Nathan Moore
