[KLUG Members] Inkscape on SuSE 9.2

[Mark Bystry]

perhaps your rpm is bad. can you find an rpm from another source and try another install (after you 
uninstall what you have)? lately i have been getting a lot of bad installs thru apt/synaptic. but 
when i grab an rpm from somewhere else it usually works. always wondered why this happens???
