Comment 19 for bug 463602

Krzysztof Kosinski : I just tried this in Windows XP Home, SP3, Inkscape 0.47 r22583, built Nov 21 2009 (standard current setup). And you're right: the problem cannot be reproduced. I can't tell you what happens on my Mac because the betas only go so far for Tiger, and I do not believe there's a .dmg file for the completed 0.47 for that O/S.

When compiling Inkscape in Ubuntu, I ensured that all the dependencies were supplied. After running ./configure, I reviewed the output and installed items that configure didn't seem to mind not having. I wanted as many libraries available to Inkscape as humanly possible. If you want me to post the results of 'configure', I'll do that. After installing Inkscape 0.47 I tested that one element. It caused Inkscape to collapse. Perhaps I missed something essential. However, it is odd that this particular feature does fail in a fresh compile.
