Re: [solved]inkscape stopped

There have been some update in poppler recently, and maybe inkscape needed to be recompiled.
There is a new version of poppler in testing, for recompilation issues due to imagemagick. Maybe it will solve the problem

I see 2 possible solutions :

1- Try first to rebuild and reinstall inkscape with ABS.
2- If 1- failed, install the version from testing

If none of the above worked, open a bug (at archlinux, it is probably a bug from arch).

Until a rebuilt version appears in the repos, just rebuild the version from testing, not the extra version. It's the same version, but the testing pkgbuild includes a patch to allow inkscape to compile against the latest perl.

Re: [solved]inkscape stopped

hey, try this

#cd /usr/lib
#ln -s libpoppler.so.3 libpoppler.so.2
#ln -s libpoppler-glib.so.3 libpoppler-glib.so.2

Terrible idea. Don't just link libs around!

Re: [solved]inkscape stopped

Like bender02 said, do not link libs! Just recompile inkscape with abs and it should work.

As I said, do not just install from the testing repo, rebuild the package and only then install it.

Step by step:

su
pacman -S abs && abs && exit
cd ~ && cp -r /var/abs/testing/inkscape . && cd inkscape
makepkg -sicr
