Upon launch, Inkscape checks the availability of various external
programs that are used by installed Inkscape extensions. If some are
missing, you get a warning box, and the complete list of unavailable
extensions is in ~/.inkscape/extension-errors.log. Check that file and
install additional software if you find that e.g. some import/export
formats do not work (most commonly PS/EPS import which currently
requires Skencil and pstoedit to be installed)
