[Wylug-help] [Wlug-help] Installing a package in Fedora Core2

[Mike]

Some of you who attended the last meeting have heard part of this
already.

I'm running FC2 on a self-built box with Soltek mobo, half a gig RAM and
two 80 gig hdds. It also has a DVDRW and a CDRW, which I need to get
going after this problem is resolved.

I have been trying to install a package called Inkscape, a vector
drawing tool. Whether I try to install using an RPM or source tarball, I
get the same failure message:

error:Failed dependencies:
	libsigc-1.2.so.5 is needed by inkscape-0.39.fdr.1.2
	perl(Image::Magick) is needed by inkscape-0.39.fdr.1.2

The whereis command shows:
	/usr/local/lib/libsigc-1.2.so.5

Whereis and find commands both fail to find ImageMagick. Since the
meeting I've learned about yum for updating and installing. However, it
fetches the headers then states:
	ImageMagick is installed and is the latest version

I have tried a couple of other vector drawing packages but they are
incapable of the jobs I need to do - or perhaps I am incapable of using
them!

Phil Driscoll has successfully loaded the package on SuSE9.1 but I have,
in my view, sound reasons for wishing to stick with the FC2 distribution
at least for the time being.

Can anyone please help me get this package installed?
